Mechanical ankle instability: relationship with active joint position sense
<p>"Current research defines chronic ankle instability (CAl) as the combination of mechanical ankle instability (MAl) and functional ankle instability (FAI). Previous research has found individuals with CAl and FAI to have deficits in proprioception, more specifically joint position sense (JPS). …

Response Shift and Functional Outcomes in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability
<p>Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries sustained by those who are physically active. One in three individuals will develop a condition known as chronic ankle instability (CAI) after suffering a single ankle sprain. These individuals suffer from recurrent bouts of ankle instability, …

Effectiveness of a foot orthosis on muscular activity in functional ankle instability
A majority of studies documented a reduced ankle muscle activity, particularly of the peroneus longus muscle (PL), in patients with functional ankle instability (FI). It is considered valid that foot orthoses as well as sensorimotor training have a positive effect on ankle muscle activity in …

Hindfoot and forefoot kinematic differences among individuals with and without Functional Ankle Instability
<p>Introduction: Following lateral ankle sprain, many individuals experience recurrent injury and symptoms of giving-way, known as Functional Ankle Instability (FAI). It has been proposed that altered joint kinematics during activity may contribute to instability in these individuals, however …

A Comparison of Neuromuscular Control between Subjects with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
<p>Ankle sprains are common and potentially disabling musculoskeletal injuries occur among physically active individuals. A subsequent problem that is commonly encountered by clinicians due to ankle sprains is the development of ongoing instability. The presence of ankle instability has been linked …

The Effect of a Specialized Yoga Intervention on Characteristics of Functional Ankle Instability
Ankle sprain is the most common injury to active individuals, constituting between 15% of all injuries in high school and collegiate sports. Approximately 40% of individuals experiencing an acute ankle sprain go on to develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI is characterized by perceived …

Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks in Participants with Chronic Ankle Instability and Uninjured Controls
Lateral ankle sprains are a common injury sustained by physically active individuals. Many of these individuals will incur repetitive episodes of lateral ankle sprain, resulting in chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI has been heavily researched, but few conclusions have been drawn. Much of this …

Dynamic Postural Stability During Gait Initiation in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability: The Influence of Walking Velocity
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is associated with deficits in strength, balance, and static postural stability, however dynamic postural stability during transitional movements have received limited investigations. The purpose of this study was to assess dynamic postural stability in individuals …

Comparison of Barefoot and Shod Rehabilitation Exercises For Increasing Balance and Intrinsic Foot Strength For Chronic Ankle Instability
Although most ankle sprains are resolved with conservative treatment, persistent symptoms might remain and a number of them may develop into Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI). The purpose of this study was to observe whether barefoot training exercises would increase balance and intrinsic foot …

An Examination of Contributing Factors to Star Excursion Balance Test in Individuals with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
… exist in sagittal plane strength at the ankle and knee, static and dynamic postural control, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM), and ankle laxity between individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI) as well as to determine which factors contribute the most to Star …

The Influence of Vestibular-Ocular Reflex Training on Static and Dynamic Postural Stability in Subjects with Chronic Ankle Instability
… acuity and gaze stabilization among chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Research laboratory setting. Participants: 16 physically-active women and men (age, 22.2+1.5 yrs; hgt, 171.1+7.0 cm; mass, 73.5+18.3 kg) with unilateral CAI, defined as …

The acute effect of percusive therapy on postural stability and muscle activation in people with chronic ankle instability and controls
F2 = 0.15; with a significance level of α = 0.05 and a test power of β = - - (p=0.014) CAI NO PRE (CNP) and HEALTHY YES POST (HYPO) and between the CAI NO POST (CNPO) vs. HYPO (p=0.05). The only statistical difference (p=0.045) within CAI group was found in CNP vs. CAI YES POST (CYPO). Since there …

Effects of Hip Rehabilitation Intervention on Dynamic Postural Control and Self-Reported Ankle Impairment in Patients with Chronic Ankle Instability
… disability in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Design and Setting: A double blinded, randomized control trial was conducted in a laboratory setting. Subjects: Twelve patients with CAI were randomly assigned to an Ankle intervention group (4 males, 2 females; 21.5±2.81 …

A Comparison of Strength, ROM, Laxity, and Static and Dynamic Postural Control Between Ankle Copers and Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability
… of this study was to examine differences between ankle sprain copers and those with CAI in selected measures that are known to differentiate CAI and healthy individuals. Increased ankle laxity and diminished strength, ankle range of motion (ROM), and static and dynamic postural control have …

Comparison of Lower Extremity Propulsion Impulses between Recreational Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability and Healthy Athletes During Single Leg Hop Tests
… statistically compared to those with chronic ankle instability (CAI), during an anterior and a crossover SLHT, looking for differences, potentially leading to compensatory patterns. When comparing CAI to healthy participants there were no significant differences during the crossover SLHT. For …

Role of Dynamic Postural Control Using Functional Movement Assessments in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability: Systematic Review and Matched Case-control Study
… more than 700,000 individuals sprain their ankle each day, with instability and recurrent ankle sprains reported in 40% to 70% of patients. Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a term that describes the structural changes at the ankle joint due to recurrent ankle sprains and presence of …

Acute Effects of Biomechanical Muscle Stimulation to Lower Extremity Using the Swisswing® on SEBT Scores in Persons With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability
… balance test (SEBT) among uninjured and chronic ankle instability (CAI) subjects. Forty subjects aged 18 to 26 who participated in physical activity at least two times a week were placed in two groups: CAI or non-CAI group. Subjects performed 4 unscored SEBT practice attempts before completing 3 …
