Anterior talocrural joint laxity: diagnostic accuracy of the anterior drawer test of the ankle.
STUDY DESIGN Prospective, blinded, diagnostic-accuracy study. OBJECTIVES To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of the ankle anterior drawer test (ADT) to detect anterior talocrural joint laxity in adults with a history of lateral ankle sprain. BACKGROUND The ADT is used to manually detect anterior talocrural joint laxity following lateral ankle sprain injury; however, the diagnostic accura...
متن کاملJoint stiffness of the ankle and the knee in running.
The spring-mass model is a valid fundament to understand global dynamics of fast legged locomotion under gravity. The underlying concept of elasticity, implying leg stiffness as a crucial parameter, is also found on lower motor control levels, i.e. in muscle-reflex and muscle-tendon systems. Therefore, it seems reasonable that global leg stiffness emerges from local elasticity established by ap...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of the ankle anterior drawer test for anterior talofibular ligament injuries.
The effect of sectioning the anterior talofibular ligament on the load-displacement behavior of the ankle was evaluated in vitro during the anterior drawer test using the flexibility approach. Controlled forces were applied across the ankle joint in the anterior-posterior direction, and the resulting displacements were measured at four flexion angles (10 degrees of dorsiflexion, neutral, and 10...
متن کاملKinematics of Hip, Knee and Ankle During Cross- Slope Walking
Purpose: Little information is available on joint kinematic adaptations during walking on cross-slope surfaces (i.e. a surface incline perpendicular to the direction of locomotion). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cross-slope surfaces on three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of hip, knee, and ankle joints during stance phase of walking. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study...
متن کاملLigament fibre recruitment and forces for the anterior drawer test at the human ankle joint.
Although the anterior drawer test at the ankle joint is commonly used in routine clinical practice, very little is known about the sharing of load between the individual passive structures and the joint response at different flexion angles.A mathematical model of the ankle joint was devised to calculate ligament fibre recruitment and load/displacement curves at different flexion angles. Ligamen...
