Chronic ankle instability was determined by the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability Questionnaire, and participants were randomly assigned to a resistance-band\u2013protocol group (n = 13 [33%] age = 19.7 \u00b1 2.2 years, height = 172.9 \u00b1 12.8 cm, weight = 69.1 \u00b1 13.5 kg), a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strength-protocol group (n = 13 [33%], age = 18.9 \u00b1 1.3 years, height = 172.5 \u00b1 5.9 cm, weight = 72.7 \u00b1 14.6 kg), or a control group (n = 13 [33%], age = 20.5 \u00b1 2.1 years, height = 175.2 \u00b1 8.1 cm, weight = 70.2 \u00b1 11.1 kg).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Intervention(s):<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both rehabilitation groups completed their protocols 3 times\/wk for 6 weeks.
