Investigation of Neuromuscular Concept by Bosu Ball and Trampoline Training in Athletes Sustaining Soft Tissue Injuries of Knee using Randomized Controlled Study Design

Abstract

Introduction: In this study the effects of unstable platform as neuromuscular concept to gain balance and strength are investigated. Individuals sustained Anterior cruciate ligament injury with and without isolated meniscal injuries are recruited for the study.

Objective: The objective of the study has centralised the concept of studying the effects of unstable platform following ACL injury.

Materials and Methods:

This study records the outcomes after exploration of the individual in unstable platform for the establishment of Neuromuscular control.  Balance and strength are the output by Vertical jump test after training of eight weeks. 30 Male athletes in the age group of 18-28 were recruited for the research recorded the means with the t value and p value -18.500 and 0.000 value respectively.

Results: P value <.05 records the significant value through outcomes after both the groups underwent training on unstable platform. A minimum difference exists between the two groups as Bosu Ball training records the mild significant value in comparison with Trampoline exercises.

Conclusion: A positive influence of unstable surface develops the motor skills required for sport perspective. There by unstable surfaces as equipment in ACL Rehabilitation are quite hard for adaptability but in still the motor skills in Sport activities.
