This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musculoskeletal injuries sustained during physical training and sports-related activities are the greatest threat to military force readiness. Injuries sustained during physical training are one of the principal reasons for the inability of service men and women to be deployed and for the almost 25 million limited duty days accrued annually. Ankle sprains have been shown to be a leading cause for military disability and are a long-term health care issue, potentially leading to a medical discharge. Military parachuting studies have demonstrated the benefits of using an outside-the-boot ankle brace to reduce the risk for sustaining an ankle injury, but the use of ankle bracing on other performance measures in the military have not been established. The first chapter of this dissertation focused on reviewing existing literature that investigated the effects of ankle bracing on functional performance measures in civilian populations. It was concluded in the literature that ankle braces, used in healthy physically active populations, have little statistical impact on balance and functional performance measures. The second chapter of this dissertation focused on reviewing how ankle braces effect performance measures in military specific populations. At this point, only one study has specifically evaluated how these devices affect performance measures, and the remaining studies focused only on the reduction of ankle injuries. Due to the lack of literature available, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ankle braces on dynamic balance and three functional performance measures in a Reserve Officers Training Corps. This randomized crossover study indicated significant results in which ankle braces do create negative effects for balance reach distances, max jump height, max jump distance, and obstacle course completion time. This is the first study to evaluate ankle braces in a military sample while wearing battle dress uniform, combat boots, and a loaded rucksack.

Download or read book The Effects of Ankle Bracing and Fatigue on Time to Stabilization in Subjects with Chronic Ankle Instability written by Sari L. Cattoni and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unknown whether the application of an ankle brace can increase dynamic stability to overcome the effects of fatigue in those individuals with CAI. Ankle dynamic stability was assessed before and after a functional fatigue protocol using the Time to Stabilization (TTS) method. Prior to the functional task, dynamic stability was measured using a single leg jump landing at 50% of the subjects' maximum vertical jump height. The functional fatigue circuit was repeated until the time it took to complete the circuit increased to 50% of the baseline time. Immediately after fatigue was reached, the single leg jump landing measures were repeated. This protocol was performed with and without an ankle brace. For APTTS, the main effect for Group was statistically significant (F= 4.15; p= .05). Subjects in the CAI group (1.291"0.179s) took significantly longer to stabilize than those in the healthy group (1.191"0.10s). There were no other significant results found. The results of our study provide questions regarding the use of ankle braces for improving dynamic stability measured with TTS in both a healthy population and those with CAI. Further research, with a larger sample size should be conducted to make a better decision regarding the effectiveness of ankle braces in improving single-leg jump landing stabilization.
Download or read book The Effects of Ankle Taping and Ankle Bracing on Vertical Jump Performance in Healthy Elite Female Soccer Players written by Laura M. Stroup and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ankle taped, braced, and bare. Therefore, each subject performed eighteen total test jumps for this study. Performance of single-leg vertical jumps initiated from various stride run-up lengths was not significantly affected by ankle taping or bracing. This study failed to show a statistical significance in decreased vertical jump heights in subjects with taped and braced ankles when compared to vertical jump heights in subjects with bare ankles. Ankle taping and bracing are widely accepted practices in sports medicine for injury rehabilitation and prevention. Taping and bracing a sprained ankle allowed athletes to return to sport quickly and safely after sustaining an injury. Researchers found both taping and bracing a sprained ankle reduced the occurrence of reinjury. Athletes often will not compromise performance for safety and injury prevention. Therefore, the chosen prosthetics must not hinder performance as they offer protection. Otherwise, athletes will not be compliant.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to prevent ankle related injuries, ankle supports have been used for many years. However, the use of ankle supports should not be at the expense of athletic performance, range of motion or mental perception. Ankle range of motion (ROM), athletic performance and mental perception were measured under three conditions of tape (T), brace (B) and control (C). Twenty-four healthy males and fourteen healthy females who were recreational athletes participated. Any subject with current or past injury to the lower extremity within the last 6 months was excluded. All participants were tested on three separate days under a different randomized condition. The C condition had no ankle support while the T condition used a modified basket-weave technique and the B condition utilized the Zoom Ankle brace by Ultra Athlete. Following a five minute warm-up on a cycle ergometer and three sub-max efforts, participants completed three maximal efforts in the VJ, 20m and PA. Ankle ROM was assessed four times each day: pre-condition (PreC), post-condition (PostC), post-warm-up (PostW) and post-performance (PostP). Prior to and following each performance, all subjects answered a three question perception survey pertaining to the comfort, support and effect of each condition on performance measure. All measurements and support applications were administered by a certified athletic trainer and certified strength and conditioning specialist. Results demonstrated that ankle supports statistically decreased VJ height and clinically increased the 20m and PA times. Similarly, ankle supports decreased ROM before, during and after performance. Mentally, perceived comfort, support and performance were affected differently. While, comfort was perceived negatively with ankle support, support was perceived positively. During the VJ and 20m, ankle supports were perceived to negatively affect performance, while during the PA, ankle supports were perceived to positively affect performance. In conclusion, while injury prevention must be addressed, athletic performance, necessary range of motion and mental perception should not be compromised.
