sustained during sport, but with increasing age activities of daily life become a
more dominant cause. It is estimated that one inversion injury of the ankle per
10.000 persons per day occurs. Despite adequate treatment, it is estimated that
approximately 40% of the patients suffer from residual symptoms after sustaining
this injury. These symptoms include recurrent sprains, 'giving way' sensations,

of demands regarding physical activities, but the great majority of the patients who
note these complaints is not incapacitated by them. Presumably only a small
percentage of patients with chronic lateral instability consults a general practitioner
or a consultant. Based on the above mentioned percentages it can be deducted that
chronic lateral instability of the foot is a very common problem
