Background and Objectives: Suitable interaction of various systems of body and environment are necessary to maintain of the balance. Balance exercise is prescribed to improve balance and proprioception. There is not clear mechanism about the effectiveness of these exercises on healthy subjects. So, this study was done to investigate the effects of balance exercises on proprioception of knee and ankle joints and single- leg balance on healthy students.
Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 30 healthy female students of Shiraz Faculty of Rehabilitation in 2009. The participants were randomly separated into two groups, intervention and control. Errors in repositioning of knee and ankle joints angles (passive and active), and also single- leg balance time was measured in both groups. The intervention group did the balance exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks and the measurements were then repeated. Data was analyzed by using Mann withney and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: There was a significant difference between two groups regarding the balance time before and after and training courses (p<0.05). Also, There was a significant difference in the mean of repositioning of angles before and after training (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Balance exercises may improve single-leg balance and proprioception in the ankle and knee joints.
Key words: Balance training, Proprioception, Balance time, Knee joint, Ankle joint
Funding: This research was funded by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences approved the study.
