“Reactive Neuro-Agility Rehabilitation in Chronic Ankle Instability: Reframing the Illinois Agility Test as a Sensorimotor Recovery Biomarker in Younger Adults”: A Narrative Literature Review

Abstract Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting younger adults, particularly athletes and physically active individuals. Recurrent ankle sprains often lead to impaired proprioception, neuromuscular deficits, reduced balance, and decreased agility performance. The Illinois Agility Test (IAT) is widely used as a functional outcome measure to evaluate agility, speed, directional control, and dynamic stability following rehabilitation in individuals with ankle instability. This review article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions on Illinois Agility Test performance among younger adults with chronic ankle instability. Literature was reviewed from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and rehabilitation databases focusing on balance training, neuromuscular rehabilitation, proprioceptive exercises, strengthening programs, and functional rehabilitation approaches. Evidence suggests that rehabilitation significantly improves agility, dynamic balance, proprioception, and functional ankle performance, reflected by reduced Illinois Agility Test completion times. Combined rehabilitation approaches integrating balance training, strengthening exercises, neuromuscular retraining, and plyometric exercises demonstrated superior improvements compared to isolated interventions. Early rehabilitation and functional performance assessment using the Illinois Agility Test are essential for safe return to activity and prevention of recurrent ankle injury.
