Filter by:Decreased ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) has been identified among the factors that increase the risk of lateral ankle sprain (LAS) in basketball players. Restoring the DFROM is important in restoring reduced functional abilities and reducing the risk of re-injury. There is evidence that talocrural joint mobilization improves DFROM, but studies investigating the effectiveness of different mobilization techniques are needed. Our study aims to investigate the effects of single-session Mulligan and Maitland talocrural joint mobilization methods on dorsiflexion joint range of motion, jumping performance, and kinesiophobia in elite basketball players.
The primary objective within the current study is to compare the acute and chronic effects of eccentric training and IASTM on the dorsiflexion ROM. To reduce the risk of Achilles tendinopathy, stretching and eccentric (lengthening) exercises are postulated to improve ankle dorsiflexion. An eccentric exercise lengthens an active muscle while it is under load. Consequently, eccentric calf muscle exercises can also increase ankle dorsiflexion through an increase in calf muscle strength. For the above mentioned reasons, a combination of stretching exercises and eccentric (lengthening) exercises are suggested as preventive intervention to increase ankle dorsiflexion. The biggest goal of IASTM is to remove scar tissues and facilitate a return to normal function following soft tissue recovery. These Techniques, eccentric stretching and IASTM works towards bringing back the normal range of motion and strength, allowing individuals to regain mobility and return to their usual activities and we will find out the better option from these.
To examine the effects of an individualized balance and proprioception training program on pain, function, and the risk of recurrent ankle sprains.
Ankle injuries are among the most common traumatological injuries of the lower limb accounting for approximately 50% of all sports injuries and 25% of musculoskeletal injuries in general. Correct initial diagnosis and proper management is important to reduce the risk of recurrent ankle instability and other complications, such as reduced range of motion, increased ligament laxity, instability, tendon enthesopathy, possible swelling, formation of calcifications, reduced load on the affected limbs while standing and walking, increased pain intensity and pain duration. To date, few studies showed that the effectiveness of physical therapy increases when it is modified based on diagnostic ultrasonography findings. Sonography is not burdensome for the patient, has high reproducibility, and enables dynamic examination and comparison of the interrelationships of individual structures. The aim of this study is to investigate if targeted physiotherapy for post-traumatic ankle conditions designed based of diagnostic ultrasonography findings is more effective than standard physiotherapy. The study hypothesis is that in the experimental group there will be a smaller number of complications of post-traumatic ankle conditions than in the control group. If confirmed the study could have clinical implications.
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.
The goal of this observational prospective cohort study is to determine key clinical predictors for chronic ankle instability and return to sports in patients who suffered an acute ankle sprain. The researchers will evaluate clinical outcome measures and patient reported outcome measures on 3 test moments and at 12 months of follow-up.
In the general population, ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries, accounting for approximately 20% of all sports injuries and the most frequent reason for trauma consultation (4 to 7% of admissions to emergency departments in France). The most frequent complication after an episode of ankle sprain is the development of chronic ankle instability (5 to 40% of the patients). Chronic ankle instability is defined by a history of at least one significant ankle sprain with subsequent perception of an abnormal ankle by the patient, associated with various symptoms including: recurrent sprains, repeated episodes of ankle "slippage", pain, episodes of swelling, difficulty and apprehension when walking on uneven surfaces with a decrease in the functional capacity of the ankle or restriction of activity. In the military population, ankle sprains account for 18.60% of on-duty injuries, and epidemiologic studies report an incidence of 45.14 to 58.40 sprains per 1,000 person-years. A 2019 study in a population of French military paratroopers found a prevalence of chronic ankle instability of 43.1% after an ankle sprain. Chronic ankle instability leads to a loss of operational skills in French soldiers, since it results in a score of 4 for the letter "I" (pelvic girdle and lower limbs) in the SIGYCOP military medical profile. The treatment of chronic ankle instability after failure of rehabilitation consists in ligamentoplasty, conservative or not, in order to restore an external ligament plane and stabilize the ankle. For open techniques, the median time to return to sport after ligamentoplasty is 4.7 months. In the series by Lee et al, which studied more specifically the return to sport in high-level athletes, 83.3% of athletes had returned to competitive sport at 4 months and 100% at 8 months. Management of chronic ankle instability by ligamentoplasty may allow the soldier to regain his operational ability (SIGYCOP score I=2).
The purpose of this study is to check reliability and validity, of translated Urdu version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool develop and test its psychometric properties and responsiveness in Urdu speaking population in Pakistan endure with Ankle sprain and ankle instability complaints.
This randomized controlled trial will compare the mid- and long-term effects of group-based training programs with usual individual physiotherapy care for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in military. One hundred and twenty soldiers presenting one of the four targeted musculoskeletal disorders (low back pain, rotator cuff related pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome or lateral ankle sprain) will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a 12-weeks group-based training program or 12-weeks usual individual physiotherapy care.
Investigators designed this prospective cohort study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
