Hyperarch Fascia Training for Ankle Injury
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) can reduce ankle pain and improve jump skills in active adults. Participants will either follow a special exercise program with HFT or continue their usual activities for 12 weeks. It suits individuals who have experienced ankle sprains, feel pain or instability while moving, and are willing to participate in virtual training sessions. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to explore innovative training methods that could enhance physical performance.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are using certain supplements or medications like glucosamine, chondroitin, or metformin. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial organizers.
What prior data suggests that the Hyperarch Fascia Training program is safe for reducing ankle pain?
Research has shown that Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) is safe for individuals with ankle injuries and may even accelerate recovery when performed correctly. Although specific studies with detailed safety data are lacking, the program is designed to be gentle and well-tolerated. Participants engage in guided training sessions that accommodate injuries, aiming to enhance foot and ankle health without causing harm. For questions about the safety of joining this trial, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike standard treatments for ankle injuries, which often focus on rest, immobilization, or physical therapy, Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) takes a unique approach by specifically targeting the fascia—the connective tissue in the foot and ankle. Researchers are excited about HFT because it integrates a series of exercises designed to improve fascial health and function through a combination of live virtual coaching sessions and independent practice. This innovative method could potentially enhance recovery by improving the structural integrity and movement efficiency of the foot and ankle, offering a new avenue for rehabilitation beyond traditional methods.
What evidence suggests that Hyperarch Fascia Training is effective for reducing ankle pain and improving jump performance?
Research has shown that fascial therapy, a component of Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT), can improve ankle movement, reduce pain, and increase stability. In this trial, participants in the Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) Intervention Group will undergo a 12-week program focusing on foot and ankle fascial health. Studies have found that exercise therapy like HFT enhances ankle function in individuals with recent or long-term ankle injuries. This suggests that HFT might reduce ankle pain and boost performance in activities such as jumping. The training targets the fascia, the connective tissues in the foot and ankle, to promote better movement and less discomfort. These early findings support the idea that HFT could benefit those who have experienced ankle sprains.12346

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Participants in this group will undergo a 12-week Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) program targeting foot and ankle fascial health. The protocol includes one weekly live 1-hour virtual session with a certified HFT coach and two independent 1-hour training sessions.
Participants in the control group will be instructed to maintain their usual activities of daily living (ADL) over the 12-week study period. They will not engage in any structured intervention or new rehabilitation protocol.
