Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chronic ankle instability using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) and investigate the independent associated factors.

Description:

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common condition encountered with persistent symptoms of giving way, pain, and weakness and recurrent risk, which may lead to functional insufficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chronic ankle instability using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) and investigate the independent associated factors.

The data was collected from adult volunteers by questionnaire including sociodemographic information, general medical condition, history of orthopedic surgery, pain intensity, and the number of painful areas of the foot. 273 adult volunteers participated in the study, through face to face or online. Subjects are classified as having CAI with a CAIT score ≤27.
