Although nine-square exercise can improve postural control, there is limited evidence demonstrating whether it can function as an alternative CAI rehabilitation programme. This study aimed to determine the effects of nine-square exercise on postural stability and self-reported outcomes in individuals with CAI.  Methods: Eighteen male collegiate athletes with CAI participated in either a 6-week nine-square exercise or a control group (n = 9 per group). At baseline and post-intervention, the participants undertook clinical tests to measures dynamic and static postural control, and self- reported outcomes regarding ankle stability and function.  Results: Within-group differences, the nine-square exercise group experienced improved dynamic postural control (P = 0.004), static postural control (P = 0.001) and self-reported outcomes (P &lt; 0.05). For the control group, only static postural control improved (P = 0.018). Post- intervention, the nine-square exercise group experienced significant improvements in dynamic postural control (P &lt; 0.001), ankle stability (P = 0.002) and functional ability (P &lt; 0.05) relative to the control group.  Conclusion: These findings suggest that the nine-square exercise can offer an alternative rehabilitation programme for improving postural control, self-perceived ankle stability and functional ability in CAI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21315\/mjms2022.29.6.10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]],"date-time":"2022-12-23T04:36:20Z","timestamp":1671770180000},"page":"104-114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A 6-Week Nine-Square Exercise Programme for Collegiate Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability: A Randomised Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.21315","volume":"29","author":[{"name":"School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kanok-On","family":"Thanasootr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The Research Centre in Back, Neck, Other Joint Pain and Human Performance (BNOJPH), Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Torkamol","family":"Hunsawong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The Research Centre in Back, Neck, Other Joint Pain and Human Performance (BNOJPH), Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uraiwan","family":"Chatchawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The Research Centre in Back, Neck, Other Joint Pain and Human Performance (BNOJPH), Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wantana","family":"Siritaratiwat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The Research Centre in Back, Neck, Other Joint Pain and Human Performance (BNOJPH), Khon Kaen University, Thailand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"8963","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"container-title":["Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]],"date-time":"2022-12-23T04:36:40Z","timestamp":1671770200000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.mjms.usm.my\/MJMS29062022\/MJMS29062022_10.pdf"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21315\/mjms2022.29.6.10","relation":{},"ISSN":["1394-195X","2180-4303"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1394-195X","type":"print"},{"value":"2180-4303","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]}}}
