Study type | Interventional |
There is evidence to support individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have altered gait biomechanics which may lead to re-injury and poor patient outcomes. Currently, there are no interventions specifically targeting these abnormal gait biomechanics. Evidence supports the use of an external focus of attention feedback to promote motor learning and retention. The overall purpose of randomized clinical trial is to determine the effects of a 2-week (8 session) gait retraining protocol using an auditory external feedback instrument can (1) alter biomechanics during functional tasks (walking, step-down, lunge, lateral hops, and balance) (2) improve ankle cartilage measures and (3) improve patient-reported outcome measures.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Changes from baseline in lower extremity kinetics during walking | Plantar pressure and center of pressure trajectory measured with an in-shoe plantar pressure system | Immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention | |
Primary | Changes from baseline in talar cartilage deformation before and after walking | Talar cartilage thickness and cross-sectional area will be measured with an diagnostic ultrasound imaging system | Immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention | |
Primary | Changes from baseline in self-reported ankle function | Changes from baseline in self-reported function as measured by the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Activities of Daily Living and Sport questionnaire. Scores range from 100% (no decrease in function) to 0% (complete loss of function). | Immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention | |
Secondary | Changes from baseline in static balance | Static balance will be measured via a force plate | Immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention | |
Secondary | 2. Changes from baseline in plantar pressure during forward lunges, lateral hops, and a step-down | Plantar pressure during forward lunges, lateral hops, and a step-down will be recorded with an in-shoe insole system. | Immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention |
