Filter by:Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire. Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-I), allowing its use with Italian-speaking population to monitor both state of health and functional limitation deriving from ankle instability problems, in order to evaluate the degree of severity, without using the comparison with the opposite limb. Summary of Background Data: Lateral ankle sprain is the most common injury during sports activity, often cause of disability and of numerous complications following repeated episodes, including chronic ankle instability (CAI), which affects 32% to 74% of the aforementioned cases. Growing attention is devoted to standardized outcome measures to improve interventions for injured population. A translated form of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), a simple and specific tool for diagnosing chronic lateral ankle instability with excellent psychometric characteristics of both reliability and validity, has never been validated within the Italian speaking population.
Decathlon has developed Ankle STRONG products which are medical devices that must be positioned around the ankle to limit ankle sprain occurrence. The Ankle STRONG devices cover a range of 3 products (Ankle STRONG 100/500/900). The differences between the devices is based on the strength of compression and the ankle maintain. The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon Ankle STRONG products to demonstrate safety and performance of these devices in a real-world setting.
The project concerns the evaluation of commercially available ankle joint braces effectiveness used as orthopedic supply after ankle joint ligaments tear injury. Authors hypothesize that the restriction of range of motion may be not sufficient in the early healing process.
Leg length was measured (right and left leg) while the participant lying supine, from the anterior superior iliac spine to the inferior border of the ipsilateral medial malleoli by using standard measure tape. The dominant leg was determined according to Vauhnik. & ark. modified version. The limb that was used in at least 2 of the 3 following activities: (1). Kicking a ball, (2). Drawing a diamond figure on the ground and (3).using his leg and step over a spider toy was considered as the dominant leg.30
This study will analyze the effects of an elastic taping application protocol in individuals with chronic ankle instability. One group will perform a protocol with increased tape tension for five weeks while the other group will receive the same tape without tension during the same period.
A vast majority (75-85%) of ankle sprain patients treated in emergency departments (ED) receive pain medication and are not referred for physical rehabilitation. Therefore, purpose of this study is to increase access to the standard of care for an ankle sprain by provide patients with physical rehabilitation delivered through telehealth. The purpose of this study includes compare a 2-week telehealth intervention to the usual care for treating 1) subjective function; 2) physical impairments; 3) medication consumption; and 4) patient-perceived barriers. The central hypothesis is participants receiving the 2-week telehealth intervention will 1) have less pain and disability; 2) improve balance and ankle range of motion; 3) consume less medication; and 4) reports positive feedback compared to the usual care group.
The purpose of the study is actually the translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric validation in the Italian Version of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) English Version for use in outpatient clinics in non-English subjects to objectify chronic ankle instability.
Classical ballet is a type of high performance dance that requires great effort and extreme joint positions by its dancers, not to mention a precise control of the ankle joint when on pointe position. Ballet dancers excessively dorsiflex, and especially plantar flex the ankle, which predisposes anterior displacement of the talus, possibly causing mobility restrictions of the tibiotarsal articulation and making it difficult and painful to move the ankle while dancing. The Thrust technique of tibiotarsal joint is a manipulation that aim to improve mobility and articular function through a high-speed and short-range movement. The purpose of the study is to verify the effect of the Thrust technique of tibiotarsal joint on the pain symptomatology in classical ballet dancers. Ballerinas included in the study presented pain in the ankle when dancing classical ballet, tenderness to palpation in the anterior and posterior tibiotarsal articulation, and dysfunction after compression of the tibiotarsal articulation. The sample consisted of 20 ballerinas, out of which 10 were subjected to manipulation (IG) and 10 formed the control group (CG). Algic symptomatology in classical ballet dance was assessed after some practice with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). After that, an algometer was used to quantify the threshold of pain in the anterior and posterior ankle joint that presented restrictions in mobility. The Tug technique was performed in the tibiotarsal articulation in the IG, and in the CG it was simulated. The threshold of pain in the anterior and posterior tibiotalar joint was measured again immediately after the intervention or simulation. The ballerinas were reassessed using algometry and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) one week after the manipulation.
The overall objective of this study is to examine the effects of a 6-week foot-intensive rehabilitation (FIRE) program on lateral ankle sprain (LAS) re-injury rates, CAI symptoms, sensorimotor function, and self-reported disability in CAI patients.
To demonstrate the functional results of patients with ankle fractures operated with arthroscopic deltoid repair.
