Abstract Background Damage to sensory input is an underlying pathology of chronic ankle instability (CAI). Therefore, it necessary evaluate the function patients with CAI. The present study quantitatively evaluated nerve in CAI and healthy controls using current perception threshold (CPT) measurements, as well influence sex, age, body mass index (BMI) on CPT values relations between frequencies...

CONTEXT The Hertel model of chronic ankle instability (CAI) is commonly used in research but may not be sufficiently comprehensive. Mechanical instability and functional instability are considered part of a continuum, and recurrent sprain occurs when both conditions are present. A modification of the Hertel model is proposed whereby these 3 components can exist independently or in combination. ...

PURPOSE To report the outcome of a technique combining direct anatomic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) with augmented reconstruction using the peroneus brevis tendon fixed by a bio-absorbable interference screw. METHODS 13 men and 2 women aged 17 to 36 (mean, 24) years with recurrent inversion injuries of the right (n=5) and left (n=10) ankles underwent lateral ankl...
