🦶 Balance training plays an important role in rehabilitating adults with chronic ankle instability (CAI).

📘 A brand-new systematic review by Milton and colleagues analysed randomised controlled trials to identify which balance exercise parameters are most effective for improving pain, function, and perceived ankle stability. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41376274/)

📊 Across nine studies involving 342 participants, balance interventions were generally associated with improvements in self-reported function and feelings of stability, although pain outcomes did not differ significantly from comparison interventions.

📋 Programmes that were more successful tended to include a higher training volume, longer overall duration, and a wider variety of exercises (5 distinct types, 5 different exercises). Effective protocols typically lasted at least four weeks, were performed around three times per week for about 30 minutes per session, and included five or more exercises.

📉 Progression was commonly guided by the patient’s ability to perform tasks with good postural control.

✅ Overall, the findings support structured and progressive balance training as a key component of CAI rehabilitation.

The review identified several distinct balance types used in rehabilitation:

1️⃣ Static balance – Maintaining stability without movement.

2️⃣ Dynamic balance – Maintaining control while moving or during perturbations.

3️⃣ Single-leg / Double-leg balance – Tasks performed on one or both legs.

4️⃣Unstable surface balance – Training on unstable or compliant surfaces.

5️⃣ Eyes-closed balance – Reducing visual input to challenge proprioception.

6️⃣ Dual-task balance – Combining balance with another motor or cognitive task.

7️⃣ Reactive balance – Recovering stability after unexpected disturbances.

Walking with a friend for just 12 minutes a day provides a powerful “double dose” of health benefits combining physical movement with social connection. This brief habit can measurably improve brain chemistry, cardiovascular health, promote longevity and long-term habits.

🗂️Improved Brain and Mood Benefits: In as little as 12 minutes, the combination of movement and conversation triggers a significant biological “reset”:

📑Interpersonal Neural Synchronization: Brain activity between friends can become “coupled” or aligned, particularly in regions involved in social bonding and emotional processing.

📑Mood-Boosting Transmitters: The walk stimulates the release of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin (the “bonding hormone”), which help ease anxiety and create feelings of trust and safety.

📑Stress Reduction: Walking 10-12 minutes significantly lowers cortisol (the primary stress hormones), allowing the nervous system to shift from a stress response into a more balanced state.

📑Enhanced Creativity: Moving your body increases creative output by an average of 60% compared to sitting, as it encourages “exploration mode” in the brain.

🗂️Cardiovascular and Longevity Gains: Short, intentional walks are more effective than fragmented movement throughout the day:

📑Lower Disease Risk: A brisk 12-minute walk circulates hundreds of beneficial metabolites that decrease the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

📑Reduced Mortality: Recent studies show that individuals who take intentional daily walks of 10-15 minutes have a significantly lower relative mortality risk compared to those who only walk in very short bursts (under 5 minutes).

📑Better Circulation: Even brief movement improves blood flow and oxygen to the brain, supporting sharper focus and memory.
