Table 7 Characteristics of the included studies (continued)

Hale et al, 2007 [7]

48 subjects (28 females, 20 males), 29 with CAI and 19 healthy controls

Not specified

FAI training group (n = 16) - 4 weeks of training which addressed ROM, strength, neuromuscular control, and functional tasks. Subjects visited the lab on 6 occasions over the 4 weeks, and exercised 5 times per week at home

FAI control group (n = 13) - no intervention

Healthy control group (n = 19) - no intervention

COP velocity in SLS with eyes open and closed

SEBT measures taken in all 8 directions

FADI and FADI-Sport scores

Following rehabilitation, the FAI group had significantly greater SEBT reach improvements on the involved limb than the other two groups in the posteromedial, posterolateral, and lateral directions as well as the mean of all 8 reach directions. Similarly, the CAI-rehab group showed showed significant improvements over the CAI-control group, and the healthy group, for FADI and FADI-Sport scores

Pre to post-test scores are presented in the paper for the CAI group as follows (values are presented as % change):

P/M: 0.07; 95% CI (0.02-0.12)

L: 0.09; 95% CI (0.04-0.08)

P/L: 0.12; 95% CI (0.06-0.18)

FADI: 7.30; 95% CI (2.47-12.13)

FADI Sport: 11.10; 95% CI (6.35-15.86)

Insufficient data was presented for the calculation of between group effect sizes
