What Have We Learnt from Quantitative Case Reports of Acute Lateral Ankle Sprains Injuries and Episodes of \u27Giving-Way\u27 of the Ankle Joint, and What Shall We Further Investigate?

Lateral ankle sprains are a commonly incurred injury in sports. They have a high recurrence rate and can lead to the development of persistent injury associated symptoms. We performed a quantitative synthesis of published case reports documenting the kinematics of acute lateral ankle sprains and episodes of ‘giving-way’ of the ankle joint to provide a comprehensive description of the mechanisms. A systematic literature search was conducted to screen records within MEDLINE® and EMBASE®. Additional strategies included manual search of specific journals, as well as contacting researchers in relevant communities to retrieve unpublished data. Twenty-four cases were included in the quantitative synthesis, 11 from individual case reports and 13 from four separate case series. Two authors independently reviewed all the articles and extracted ankle joint kinematic data. Excessive ankle inversion was the most pronounced kinematic pattern observed across all included cases, with a mean peak inversion angle of 67.5° (range 2.0 to 142) and a mean peak inversion velocity of 974°/s (range 468 to 1752). This was followed by internal rotation and plantar flexion, respectively. A homogeneous linear function revealed a mean inversion velocity across all cases of 337°/s (range 117 to 1400; R2 = 0.78; p \u3c 0.0001)

Influence of fatigue on turning characteristics in those with chronic ankle instability

6th International Ankle Symposium (IAS), Dublin, Ireland, 16-18 October 2015Background: Ankle sprains are typically sustained during change of direction tasks and often occur during the latter thirds of both halves of matches. The effects of fatigue on turning kinematic characteristics has not been studied in a chronic ankle instability population

Analysing Fatigue in Chronic Ankle Instability [Poster Presentation]

Evolve Biomed 2015, Dublin, Ireland, 29-30 2015Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries suffered by athletes in sports. It is estimated that an upwards of 70% of athletes will develop chronic ankle instability following an initial sprain. Despite the high prevalence of CAI, knowledge of the mechanism or prevention of repeated ankle sprains is limited . Since most sprains occur in the latter halves of matches, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of fatigue on lower limb movement variability in individuals with and without CAI during running gait using 3D inertial sensorsScience Foundation Irelan
