Impairment in Dynamic Postural Control Following an Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain
Lateral ankle sprains are the most common injury in sports, with an estimated 25,000 per day. Current research assesses postural control deficits following lateral ankle sprains; however most studies use static stances instead of dynamic stances. Most of the current research compares injured limb …

The use of joint mobilization on mechanical instability deficits for a lateral ankle sprain: A Systematic Review
… mobilizations on mechanical deficits in chronic ankle instability and lateral ankle sprain. Objective: To understand the benefits of joint mobilization in the lateral ankle sprain (chronic and acute) and determine common parameters/techniques used in practice. Data Sources: Pub Med (1950-2013), …

A cross sectional study to determine whether there are central nervous system changes in football players who have sustained recurrent lateral ankle injuries using the laterality judgement task, two point discrimination test and limb perception testing
Background: A chronic ankle sprain injury is a condition that affects professional, amateur and social football players globally. Despite a large amount of research into the medical management of this condition, it remains one of the most frequently experienced injuries in professional football. A …

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 …

The development of a novel system to assess the effect of sudden foot and ankle inversion/supination on the musculoskeletal system
Ankle sprains are one of the most common type of sports injury. They occur most frequently when the foot is in a supine or inverted position. Recovery from an ankle sprain can take from one and up to 26 weeks depending on the severity of the injury. During that period the individual will be unable …

The Management of acute lateral ankle sprains: A survey of South African Surgeons and best evidence available
Introduction: Ankle sprains remain the single most frequent injury in modern sports with increasing evidence that it is not as innocuous as previously thought. Conservative treatment options include various forms of immobilization such as casts, moonboots and stirrup braces, followed by a …

Structural characteristics and functional consequences of lateral ankle sprains
Ankles injuries account for 8% of health care consultations and ankle sprainsconstitute about 85% of all ankle injuries. Lateral ankle sprain is a type of injury that affectsboth the general and the sporting population. Lateral ankle sprain has a high rate ofrecurrence which can often lead to …

Contrast baths: A systematic review of the effects of contrast baths on edema
… volunteers and subjects with a diagnosis of ankle sprain, diabetes, and carpel tunnel syndrome. No standard protocol exists on administering contrast baths. Conclusion. Findings report that contrast baths therapy cause fluctuations in subcutaneous temperature and blood flow, but not …

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 …

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 …

Effects of Neuromuscular Training on the Dynamic Restraint Characteristics of the Ankle
… study. Subjects had experienced no more than one ankle sprain to either ankle in their life, and had not sprained either ankle in the last year. Subjects were not currently experiencing any lower extremity pathology and had no history of serious injury to either lower extremity.</p> …

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 …

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, …

Enhancing the Effectiveness and Availability of Orthoses by Additive Manufacturing
… people suffer from musculoskeletal conditions. Ankle inversion sprains are the most prevalent acute injuries, causing temporary mobility restrictions and long-term residual ankle symptoms. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are the primary intervention for treating and preventing recurrent sprains by …

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 …

Role of Dynamic Postural Control Using Functional Movement Assessments in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability: Systematic Review and Matched Case-control Study
Context: Worldwide, 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 …

Effect of Orthotics on Dynamic Balance in Participants with Pes Planus and Subacute Lateral Ankle Sprains
Lateral ankle sprains are common athletic injuries which lead to a decrease in balance via proprioceptive damage around the joint. Orthotics have been shown to help increase balance following acute ankle sprains. This research focused on the effect of orthotics on balance in participants with …
