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 Therapeutic Effects Of Kinesio Tape on a Grade I Lateral Ankle Sprain
… an ASO ankle brace on a lateral grade I ankle sprain. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are therapeutic effects of Kinesio™ tape on a grade I lateral ankle sprain, using an ASO as the control group. The gold standard protocol for a grade I lateral ankle sprain is an ASO ankle …

The acute effects of taping on proprioception in the ankle with previous inversion sprain
… that the possible cause of recurrent ankle sprains in the inversion plane is due to diminished proprioception of the injured limb. Therefore, we give emphasis to the importance of proprioceptive training in the rehabilitation of ankle injuries. This minor thesis was written by a …

Ankle sprain prevention - the effect of the Nike Free shoe in elite male soccer players
… shoe would have a lower incidence of acute ankle sprains as compared to controls. Two elite male college soccer teams participated in the study. The experimental team performed an agility training program two to three days per week over a three month period wearing the Nike Free Trainer. Data on …

Enhancement of antimonide-based p-channel quantum-well field effect transistors using process-induced sprain
For decades, the scaling of silicon CMOS has brought impressive growth to the semiconductor industry, as well as a wealth of technological innovations. However, the continued scaling of CMOS devices to the nanometer regime is now threatened by intrinsic limitations to the use of silicon as the …

The use of joint mobilization on mechanical instability deficits for a lateral ankle sprain: A Systematic Review
… 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), CINAHL with full text (1982-2013), …

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 effect of talo-crural joint manipulation on range of motion at the ankle joint in subjects with a history of ankle injury
… in subjects with a history of lateral ligament sprain. Male and female volunteers with a history of lateral ligament sprain were randomly assigned into either an experimental group or a control group. Those in the experimental group received a single HVLA thrust to the talo-crural joint, whilst …

Structural characteristics and functional consequences of lateral ankle sprains
… 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 individual developing …

Effects of Running Speed, Fatigue, and Bracing on Motor Control of Chronically Unstable Ankles
Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries for participants in running and jumping sports. Following an initial sprain injury, many (30-40%) will develop chronic ankle instability (CAI), characterized by a perception of instability and repeated sprain injuries. Quasi-static test methods …

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 …

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 BMI Status on the Occurence and Recovery From Injuries in Youth
… a combined injury (broken bone and strain/sprain) were longer than recovery times for normal weight youth. Times to recovery for obese youth were not significantly elevated for broken bones and sprain/strains. Conclusions: Physical activity participation relates to injury experiences in a …

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 …

Enhancing the Effectiveness and Availability of Orthoses by Additive Manufacturing
… 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 providing timely …

Effects of Fatigue & Gender on Peroneal Reflexes After Ankle Inversion
… 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. Investigating the effects …
