The effect of talo-crural joint manipulation on range of motion at the ankle joint in subjects with a history of ankle injury
… have examined the effect of manipulation on ankle range of motion, with conflicting results. This study aimed to determine whether a single high-velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation to the talocrural joint altered ankle range of motion in subjects with a history of lateral …

The effect of injury on ankle range of motion and proprioception
To assess the effect of injury to the ankle on postural sway in participants with a history of no injuries, one injury and two or more injuries. To compare the changes in passive range of motion of the ankle in participants with no injuries, one injury and two or more injuries. The results suggest …

Effects of prophylactic lace-up ankle braces on kinetics and kinematics of the lower extremity during a state of fatigue.
… are commonly used on athletes regardless of ankle injury history to reduce lateral ankle sprains (LAS). However, their ability to limit ankle sagittal range of motion has the potential to alter knee kinematics and is linked to chronic knee pathologies. Thirteen college-aged (6 males) and (7 …

Ankle prophylactic interventions in Division III male and female basketball athletes
Prophylactic ankle taping has been considered the basis of lateral ankle injury prevention and has been used at all levels of sport competition. An alternative to ankle taping is a semirigid reusable ankle brace. This study compared the incidence of ankle sprains in Division III collegiate …

Validation of the Ottawa Ankle Rules for Acute Foot and Ankle Injuries
Context: The original and modified Ottawa Ankle Rules (OARs) were developed as clinical decision rules (CDRs) for the emergency department setting. However, these CDRs have not been validated as an acute clinical evaluation tool. Currently, there are no sport-specific CDRs relating to acute ankle …

Ankle mechanical impedance under muscle fatigue
This study reports the effects of ankle muscle fatigue on ankle mechanical impedance. It suggests that decreasing ankle impedance with muscle fatigue may contribute to an increased probability of ankle injury. If confirmed, this observation may have important athletic, military and clinical …

Effects of a Tape Cast, Air-Stirrup, and an Air-Stirrup Applied Over a Taped Ankle on Dynamic Ankle Inversion
… alone with respect to their effects on dynamic ankle inversion.</p> <p>Design and Setting: This study used a repeated measures design with the independent variables being the exercise bout and the ankle support method (4 levels: no support, Air-Stirrup only, Air-Stirrup/closed basketweave, and …

Biomechanical Analyses of Head Acceleration during Contact Sports and Ankle Joint Complex Injury
… in bodily injuries, such as concussions and ankle sprains. This research is divided into two separate biomechanical studies: the design and evaluation of a device to simulate football helmet collisions and its parameters, and a cadaveric study to investigate the effects of ankle sprains. An …

Neuromuscular control adaptation during recovery from injury
… compensation strategies that linger after the injury heals. By combining dynamical-systems modeling and clinical experimentation, this work attempts to explore and explain discontinuous changes in neuromuscular control, as well as the possibility of coexisting longitudinal neuromuscular control …

A paleopathological and mortuary analysis of three Precontact burials from southern Saskatchewan
… of the left calcaneus possibly related to an ankle injury such as a strain, and a possibly transacted fifth metacarpal. The association of the female and infant and the young age of the child may indicate that they both died due to obstetric problems, possible representing a coffin birth. The …

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 …

Optimization of inversion ankle taping: A Taguchi method based study
… in a TM study. For this study, the reduction in ankle inversion motion was studied by manipulating ankle taping variables relating to how thick the tape was applied, how high up the lower leg tape was applied, and how thick the prewrap was applied. Each independent variable (IV) was studied at …

Cross sectional study to determine whether there are central nervous system changes in rugby players who have sustained recurrent ankle injuries
… the world and has one of the highest recorded injury rates in sport. The literature exposes ankle injuries as one of the most common areas injured in sport and this trend carries through in rugby too, with lateral ankle sprains predominating. Recurrent ankle injuries are commonly reported in …

Effects of Fatigue & Gender on Peroneal Reflexes After Ankle Inversion
An estimated 23,000 ankle injuries occur every day in the U.S. Ankle sprains account for 85% of all ankle injuries and inversion ankle sprains account for 85% of all ankle sprains. There is growing evidence that suggests gender and fatigue may increase the risk for inversion ankle sprains. …

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 …
