Mechanical Joint Laxity Associated With Chronic Ankle Instability
CONTEXT Lateral ankle sprains can manifest into chronic mechanical joint laxity when not treated effectively. Joint laxity is often measured through the use of manual stress tests, stress radiography, and instrumented ankle arthrometers. PURPOSE To systematically review the literature to establish the influence of chronic ankle instability (CAI) on sagittal and frontal plane mechanical joint ...
متن کاملThe Mechanical Relation between Chronic Ankle Instability and Pelvic Alignment: A Matched Case-Control Study
Background. Mechanical relation between the foot and pelvic alignment had been studied in healthy subjects and individuals with other musculoskeletal disorders; however, in chronic ankle instability (CAI), it has not yet been determined. Objectives. To investigate the difference in pelvic torsion (PT) among individuals with CAI and uninjured subjects and correlate PT with perceived ankle insta...
متن کاملGeneralized joint laxity and multidirectional instability of the shoulder.
Generalized joint laxity and shoulder instability are common conditions that exhibit a wide spectrum of different clinical forms and may coexist in the same patient. Generalized joint laxity can be congenital or acquired. It is fundamental to distinguish laxity from instability. Laxity is a physiological condition that may predispose to the development of shoulder instability. A high prevalence...
متن کاملQuantification of Ankle and Subtalar Joint Instability: A New Technique
An arthrometer, the ankle flexibility tester (AFT), was developed to quantify six degree-of-freedom measurement of ankle flexibility. It measured the relative motion between the calcaneus and the tibia/fibula produced in response to manually applied forces and moments (1). The AFT has been used to measure the flexibility characteristics of the ankle complex in vitro by incrementally sectioning ...
متن کاملEffects of balance training on post-sprained ankle joint instability.
BACKGROUND Ankle sprain is a medical condition when ankle ligaments are totally or partially torn. The primary cause of ankle sprain is sharp movements like turning or rolling the foot [1]. The ankle sprain needs to be treated right after the trauma, because if not treated it could lead to decreased stability of the ankle joint and lead to chronic ankle instability, which is characterized by in...
