Download or read book Lateral Ankle Instability written by Hélder Pereira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superbly illustrated, up-to-date reference textbook covers all aspects of ankle instability and its management. Readers will find extensive information on biomechanics, injury prevention, current strategies for conservative treatment, and established and emerging surgical techniques. The most recent procedures, particularly those which are minimally invasive and arthroscopically assisted, are described and discussed in depth. Detailed attention is also devoted to controversies such as the indications and timing for conservative or surgical treatment, the current and future roles of arthroscopy, the definition of “anatomic” repair, and the upcoming concept of “anatomic reconstruction” (replication of anatomy by using a graft). The book is published in cooperation with ESSKA, and the chapter authors include clinicians and scientists working in the field of foot and ankle orthopaedics and sports medicine from across the world. All who are involved in the care of patients suffering from ankle instability, including amateur and high-level athletes, will find Lateral Ankle Instability to be an excellent source of knowledge and a valuable aid to clinical practice.

Download or read book A Comparison of Excitability Measures ROM Laxity and Dynamic Postural Control Between Ankle Copers and Patients with Chronic Ankle Instability and Their Influences on Dynamic Postural Control written by Samantha Bowker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Mechanical and neuromuscular deficiencies are commonly studied in participants with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Recent evidence suggests mechanical laxity alone may not characterize the condition of CAI. Alterations in the central nervous system (CNS) following ankle sprains are likely to characterize the condition of CAI, yet few studies have quantified CNS alterations directly in CAI populations. Ankle sprain copers are individuals that do not present with prolonged dysfunctions following an initial ankle sprain. There have been limited examination of CNS alterations in patients with ankle sprain history, and to our knowledge none that have attempted to comprehensively consider CNS and mechanical differences between CAI, ankle copers, and healthy control groups. Objective: Determine if differences exist in spinal reflex excitability and ankle laxity between ankle sprain copers, CAI patients, and healthy controls. To identify which variables best predict performance on the star excursion balance test (SEBT) for each group. Design: Case control study. Setting: Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Thirty-five participants with CAI (17M, 18F; 21.97±3.55yrs; 169.26±8.35cm; 72.40±14.79kg), 26 participants categorized as ankle sprain copers (10M, 16F; 21.50±4.17yrs; 168.35±10.83cm; 73.22±19.84kg) and 22 healthy control participants (8M, 14F; 21.45±3.43yrs; 166.75±7.63cm; 67.07±13.50kg) volunteered. Interventions: Spinal reflex excitability was assessed using Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) testing. Participants' ankle laxity was measured with an ankle arthrometer. Corticomotor excitability was assessed using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Range of motion was assessed using the weight bearing lunge test (WBLT) and open kinetic chain dorsiflexion (OKCDF) was assessed using a bubble inclinometer. Dynamic postural control was assessed using the SEBT. Main Outcomes: Spinal reflex excitability was assessed for the maximal H-reflex and muscle-response, from which the H:M ratio was calculated. Ankle laxity was measured as the total displacement in the anterior-posterior directions (mm) and total motion in the eversion-inversion directions (degrees). Corticomotor excitability was analyzed using active motor threshold (AMT) and silent periods (SP). Dorsiflexion was measured as distance from the wall during the WBLT (cm) and as possible range of motion for OKCDF (deg). Normalized reach distances for the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial reach distances of the SEBT. One-way ANOVAs were used to make groups comparisons for each dependent variable. Significance was set a priori at P
