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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
