Efficacy of resistance training with elastic bands compared to proprioceptive training on balance and self-report measures in patients with chronic ankle instability: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Proprioceptive training and resistance training are physiotherapy treatment methods for Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI).

Objective: To compare the efficacy of proprioceptive training to resistance training with elastic bands for treating CAI as measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), and the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT).

Method: Our systematic study and meta-analysis was based on the PICOS and PRISMA protocols.

Efficacy of percutaneous needle electrolysis versus dry needling in musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Physical therapists use dry needling (DN) and percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) to treat musculoskeletal pain.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of PNE vs. DN in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain.
