Effects of the Jump Step Kids Program on Functional Movement and Self-Report Outcomes in Children Aged 7 to 12 Years With Chronic Ankle Instability: Randomized Controlled Trial

The 4-week JSKs program improved functional performance in children with CAI compared with the control group in HRT and BOT-2 outcomes, although self-reported function remained unchanged. These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the potential efficacy of the JSKs program for children with CAI. The program may serve as an addition to conventional therapy to improve physical performance in the pediatric population.
