Background: Chronic ankle arthritis is often managed by exercises. But there is no adequate literature about the superiority of CKC exercise over OKC exercise in reducing pain, improving ankle ROM and increasing single leg stance duration in ankle arthritis. Hence this study is attempted to determine the efficacy of CKC exercise over OKC exercise in chronic ankle arthritis. Materials and methods: The study included 30 (n = 30) subjects who ranged in age from 40 to 60 years of both genders with chronic ankle arthritis. Subjects were assigned randomly to one of two groups, each group consisting of 15 subjects. Group I was instructed to perform CKC ankle exercise. Group II was instructed to perform CKC ankle exercise. Before the beginning of the trial and at end of six weeks pain using VAS, ankle JROM using universal goniometer and single leg stance duration were measured. Result: The initial evaluation showed that, there is no significant difference between the two groups for all the variables measured. The post-test evaluation showed a statistically significant (P< 0.05) increase in the pain reduction, ankle JROM and single leg stance duration within the groups. Conclusion: This study led to the conclusion that CKC ankle exercise and OKC ankle exercise are equally effective in pain reduction, and improving ankle JROM and single leg stance duration in chronic ankle arthritis.
