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. …

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 …

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 effectiveness of manipulation combined with static stretching of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex compared to manipulation alone in the treatment of subacute and chronic grades I and II ankle inversion sprains
A dissertation presented in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, Durban, South Africa, 2001.

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 …

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 …

The acute effects of taping on proprioception in the ankle with previous inversion sprain
… study was to examine if subjects with chronic ankle inversion injuries have worse proprioception in the inversion/eversion plane, when compared to a control ankle and to examine whether taping the ankle improves proprioception. The most common sporting based injuries are to the ankle. The …

Biomechanical and comfort analyses on the use of commercial insoles while walking and running
… comfort. Results: The Currex insole reduced ankle eversion and peak midfoot pressure during walking, while reducing peak toe and average whole foot pressure during running. However, the regular running shoe was still preferred over the Currex insole by a higher percentage of participants, 55% …

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 …

A Wearable Countermeasure for Musculoskeletal Deconditioning in Human Spaceflight
… the GLCS produced a non-significant decrease in ankle inversion proprioception compared to unsuited conditions, and further investigation is needed. This thesis investigated the fabrication of the GLCS, the loading function, the user experience, the impacts on two physiological targets (muscle …
