Filter by:Chronic ankle instability was first defined by Freeman as recurrent ankle sprains following an ankle sprain and the feeling of dislocation in the ankle lasting longer than six months. The recurrence of ankle sprains in athletes leads to the realization of ankle instability. Functional ankle instability gives the feeling that a re-sprain will occur at any time due to decreased static and dynamic support in the joint.Neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises is an approach that combines neuromuscular training and vestibular-ocular training techniques.At the same time, we are doing this study because of the mixed studies on the effect of fascial relaxation on the performance and proprioception of a specific group of football players.
Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal complaint of children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Healing can often be protracted, leading to prolonged pain, missed school and work, and delayed return to a normal activity level. Smartphone apps have been shown to be associated with greater caregiver knowledge and improved outcomes in a number of conditions but have not been explored in ankle sprains. We would like to know if using a smartphone app for children with ankle inversion injuries leads to improved functional outcomes such as pain, mobility, and return to activity. We will be comparing a smartphone app that provides education and daily management reminders to a paper handout to see if the former leads to improved functional recovery.
The purpose of the study is to collect post-market clinical follow-up data, which is needed to confirm the safety and performance of the JuggerKnot device and meet existing EU regulatory requirements.
The former purpose of this study to investigate the effect of transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, vastus lateralis, lateral gastrocnemius, anterior talofibular ligament of morphology on explosive power and balance performance in cronic ankle instability with volleyball players. The latter purpose of this study to determine morphological characteristics volleyball players with and without cronic ankle insatbility of trunk muscle morphology, field tests and the muscle morphology features between the body affected and unaffected sides whose those with chronic ankle instability.This study was designed as a cross-sectional. Twelve volleyball players with chronic ankle instability who meet the criteria determined by the ankle consortium will be included in study group. Twelve asymptomatic volleyball players who have been training at least three days a week for at least one year will be include in the control group. They will consist of 24 volleyball players between 14-35 years of age.Morphological characteristics of anterior talofibular ligament, transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, vastus lateralis, lateral gastrocnemius will be evaluated via ultrasound, explosive power with squat jump, counter movement jump and balance performance by Y-Balance Test. Trunk muscle morphology, core stabilization, explosive power, balance performance will have been compered in volleyball players with and without chronic ankle instability. The effects of morphological features on explosive power and balance performance will have been determined. It is anticipated that by determining the parameters that can be affected by instability with volleyball players, it will guide the professionals working in the field, countribute to treatment and preventive treatment programs.
The goal of this Cross-cultural validation study is to Urdu translate and cross-cultural validation of Foot and Ankle Disability Index for the Patients with Chronic Ankle Instability. The main question it aims to answer was: • To Translate Foot and Ankle Disability Index in Urdu and to find out the Validity and Reliability for Patients with Chronic Ankle Instability. Data collection procedure would be, FADI Urdu version was introduced and the patients were asked to fill FADI Urdu version. The questionnaire was filled again by the same participants after one week to assess the test retest reliability. Questionnaire was conducted to have the best result. After the ethical approval, participants who meet the inclusion criteria and who were free from exclusion criteria were explained about the objectives of this study. Only those who gave consent were included in the study.
This project consists of a randomized controlled study design. Study candidates will include all patients 18 years or older, who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have an acute ankle syndesmosis injury requiring surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will be randomized to receive one of two standard of care procedures - either a suture button or Fibulink implant. Outcome measures, including the Olerud-Molander and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores, pain, range of motion, time to return to work, and radiographic evaluation will be collected for each participant. Given the potential degenerative changes and poor radiographic and clinical outcomes with inadequate repair of the syndesmosis, it is imperative to evaluate existing and emerging methods of fixation for patients with acute ankle fractures with syndesmosis injuries.
The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to find the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on ankle joint function in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main question it aims to answer is: • To compare the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on pain, instability and balance in athletes with chronic ankle instability. Participants were given consent form and after subjects read and signed the informed consent and completed the self-reported questionnaires designed to identify subjects with CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY, subjects completed baseline measurements that included Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Reach distance, and SEBT. Participant were divided into two groups (Group A and Group B) through lottery method. Group A received open kinetic exercises 3times a week for 3-4 weeks. Group B received close kinetic exercises 3 times a week for 3-4 weeks.
Regional anesthesia is commonly used in orthopedic and surgical procedures in ankle and foot surgery to manage pain. The ultrasound-guided nerve block is a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique that provides effective pain management, decreasing opioid consumption. Postoperative pain management may be challenging and requires a multimodal approach. Regional anesthesia techniques in the pediatric ankle and foot surgery population are frequently used in postoperative pain management due to ultrasonography's increased experience and accessibility. Erector spinae plane block (ESP) is a relatively new regional anesthesia technique that provides analgesia covering spinal nerves' dorsal and ventral rami. There are few cases reports in the literature on the use of ESP block for lower limb surgery, for which it has a promising potential for future indication. The erector spinae plane block is a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique, which has earned new indications perioperatively since its description.

GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. BPR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction may provide more strength and stability. However, BPR with suture tape augmentation may lead to rejection of the suture tape, while anatomic reconstruction may be associated with more trauma. In addition, the outcomes between the BPR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction were unknown.
