Abstract:

Purpose: Recurrence of ankle sprains is common among athletes. While ankle taping reduces the risk of injury, the mechanism underlying its effectiveness remains unclear. Anecdotal reports suggest a role for the athlete’s belief that taping will protect them from injury. That is, taping may have a placebo effect. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there was a placebo effect with ankle taping in individuals with ankle instability. Methods: 30 participants with ankle instability completed a single-limb hopping test and a modified star excursion balance test under three con

Abstract:

Ankle sprains are common and, if not identified early, may result in long-standing pain and disability. This project used sonography to measure the structure of ankle ligaments soon after (<12 weeks) an ankle sprain. A reliable protocol to measure sonographic thickness of ankle ligaments was first developed, and then applied in people with and without a sprain. Although not appreciable on standard clinical testing, acutely injured ligaments demonstrated a complex pattern of injury to their sub-bands, which were thicker than those of uninjured and healthy limbs. This new protocol may aid early

The purpose of this study was to determine if prophylactic ankle tape and/or ankle braces improve dynamic stability in TTS measure. All subjects were healthy and had no prior history of ankle injuries. Data collection consisted of each subject performing a single leg jump-landing with ankle tape, ankle brace, combination of the two, and control (no tape or brace) conditions. Dynamic stability was assessed with time to stabilization force plate measure. Significant plane by ankle tape interaction (p=0.045) was found.

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis and degenerative cartilage diseases affect millions of people. Therefore, there is huge interest in developing new therapies to repair, replace and/or regenerate cartilage.

Hence, the aims of this thesis are to describe and quantify the geometric properties of ankle cartilage, to evaluate joint contact characteristics and develop techniques which allow qua

Abstract:

Lateral ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal injury among the general population and U.S. military personnel. Despite the common perception of being a minor injury, at least 1 out of 3 individuals with a previous ankle sprain will develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). This clinical phenomenon creates a significant barrier for patients to return to their prior level of physical function. Specifically, CAI is associated with reductions in physical activity level, leading to decreases in lower health-related quality of life and increase risk of developing of post-traumatic ankle o

Through a series of carefully controlled studies, this thesis identified considerable variation in the force applied during ankle mobilisation.

Ankle arthritis affects 1% of the population and can be a painful debilitating problem. One motion preserving treatment option is total ankle replacement (TAR). These devices are currently under researched and have poor clinical outcomes. Despite significant variation amongst device designs no pre-clinical test standards exist to allow comparison of tribological function. Furthermore, malalignment of TARs is a potential result of surgical technique or failure to correct existing natural varus/valgus deformity. TAR malalignment can result in instability, deformity and is associated with increas

The ankle joint is a stable and congruent joint that helps to protect the joint surfaces from high impact forces. However, possible trauma to the joint such as severe ankle sprain or fracture can cause cartilage breakdown and eventually lead to cartilage degeneration, resulting in arthritis.

Although the ankle joint is least affected by arthritis compared to knee and hip joints, the pain and lack of mobility of end stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) are equally debilitating and tend to be overlooked compared to hip and

Ankle sprains are one of the most common type of sports injury. They occur most frequently when the foot is in a supine or inverted position. Recovery from an ankle sprain can take from one and up to 26 weeks depending on the severity of the injury. During that period the individual will be unable to participate in any meaningful sports activity and as such it is important to be able to prevent the occurrence of such injuries. Prevention of ankle sprain injuries would require a better understanding of the risk factors of this injury. Several studies attempted to assess such risk actors by indu
