OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL ANKLE INSTABILITY AND BALANCE EXERCISE TREATMENT

摘要: Lateral ankle inversion sprains occur frequently in sports and recreational activities. Although the majority of patients recover completely after their first moderate/severe sprain, disabling symptoms pain swelling, feelings instability, recurrent continue to affect 15% 60% people despite treatments [1]. There are conflicting results literature regarding role suggested etiological factors Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) including joint laxity, proprioceptive deficiencies, peroneal muscle weakness, elongated response time. In spite disagreement CAI factors, balance training is widely used rehabilitation clinics for with [2]. Past studies have reported effect on CAI, but strong evidence a definitive result still missing. Furthermore, mechanism that explains unclear Therefore, objective this research was determine intervention proprioception using quantitative biomechanical neuromuscular measurements.
