아쿠아 백 하향식 운동이 만성 발목 불안정성을 가진 성인 여성의 발목 안정성, 균형 및 보행 능력에 미치는 영향 (The Effects of Downward Aqua Bag Exercise on Ankle Stability, Balance, and Gait Ability in Adult Women with Chronic Ankle Instability)

초록

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of a 6-week aqua bag downward exercise program on ankle stability, balance, and gait in adult women with chronic ankle instability. The goal is to provide an effective rehabilitation strategy and empirical evidence applicable to clinical and sports settings.
Methods: Eighteen participants were divided into the Aqua Bag Downward Exercise Group (n = 9) and the Bodyweight Exercise Group (n = 9). All participants underwent assessments for ankle instability, static balance, and gait. The 6-week program, conducted twice a week for a total of 12 sessions, consisted of a 10-minute warm-up, a 40-minute main exercise, and a 10-minute cool-down. The number of repetitions was progressively increased every two weeks.
Result: The AQG showed a significantly greater increase in CAIT (Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool) scores compared to the BWG (p<.05), indicating improved ankle stability. Additionally, AQG demonstrated greater improvements in static balance (p<.05), although no significant difference was observed specifically under eyes-open conditions (p>.05). In terms of gait, AQG showed a significant reduction in the loading response and single support phases (p<.05), with greater improvements than BWG (p<.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the transition phase (p>.05).
Conclusion: The aqua bag downward exercise effectively enhanced ankle stability, balance, and gait in women with chronic ankle instability, supporting its use as a targeted rehabilitation method.
