Gait abnormalities in patients with chronic ankle instability can improve following a non-invasive biomechanical therapy: a retrospective analysis.

摘要: [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in gait patterns and clinical outcomes patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) following treatment a home-based non-invasive biomechanical device. [Subjects Methods] Thirty-three CAI were compared 43 healthy controls. Patients underwent spatiotemporal assessment before three months treatment. Clinical evaluation recorded SF-36 Health Survey Foot Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS). [Results] Significant baseline differences found between groups. showed statistically significant improvement velocity, cadence, symptomatic limb step length single support over time. improvements PCS FAOS outcome scores CAI. [Conclusion] have abnormalities as However, metrics can be expected after 12 weeks perturbation training using
