A smart wearable ankle sprain prevention device would require an intelligent monitoring system that can classify data from the sensors as or non-sprain motion. This paper aims to explore Deep Neural Network method, specifically Long Short Term Memory Fully Convolutional (LSTM-FCN) for classifying and study is conducted on 11 participants record motions, which are used train test LSTM-FCN model ...

Whiplash injury and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are significant problems of modern society. Numerous attempts have been made to characterize the nature of whiplash injury. Whether the immune system is involved during the disease process is not known. In a prospective study, using enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays, we examined numbers of blood mononuclear cells (MNC) secreting pr...

QUESTION Does Kinesio Taping reduce swelling in athletes who have suffered an acute, lateral ankle sprain? DESIGN Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded assessment. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-six athletes who participated regularly in one of seven different sports modalities and suffered an acute ankle sprain. INTERVENTION The experimental ...

INTRODUCTION This study examined the injury prevention effectiveness of the parachute ankle brace (PAB) while controlling for known extrinsic risk factors. METHODS Injuries among airborne students who wore the PAB during parachute descents were compared with injuries among those who did not. Injury risk factors from administrative records included wind speed, combat loads, and time of day (da...

BACKGROUND Anterolateral soft tissue impingement of the ankle joint is a common consequence of ankle sprain due to excessive supination and adduction of the foot, injuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral malleolus fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two arthroscopic procedures to treat anterolateral soft tissue impingement of the ankle joint were performed at the Independent Pu...

Ankle sprains are common acute soft-tissue injuries. This 7-day open-label, multicentre, randomized study compared the efficacy and safety of celecoxib with non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in treating acute ankle sprain with moderate-to-severe ankle pain in 278 patients. Patients received either celecoxib (400 mg loading dose followed by 200 mg twice daily) or stand...

OBJECTIVE To describe the pain and functional improvements of a patient with posterior ankle impingement following a treatment plan incorporating soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustment and a progressive rehabilitation program. CLINICAL FEATURES A 37-year- old male presented with posterolateral ankle pain exacerbated by plantar flexion two weeks after sustaining an inversion ankle sprain...

Ankle sprains are among the most prevalent musculoskeletal system injuries. Prevention of ankle is important, given frequency occurrence an sprain, risk reinjury, and its long-term effects. A systematic patent review using World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)’s PATENTSCOPE database has been performed to study current development sprain prevention methods. Using PRISMA statement as a ...
