Neurocognitive ankle training for instability to optimize neuromusculoskeletal outcomes (NATION) for chronic ankle instability

The Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences under the Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects program (CFDA 12.750), supports the NEUROCOGNITIVE ANKLE TRAINING FOR INSTABILITY TO OPTIMIZE NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL OUTCOMES (NATION) project for chronic ankle instability. The $1,073,016.00 award, granted to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc., will fund a 3-year research initiative to develop novel rehabilitation strategies that address both the physical and neurocognitive deficits associated with chronic ankle instability in military personnel. The project will leverage the technical expertise of a sub-awardee, the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, to pursue objectives such as improving balance, foot/ankle function, and cognitive processing capabilities to enhance readiness and quality of life for affected service members.
