NCT04083391 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/001312
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 42
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

chronic ankle instability could be associated with some proximal deficits as in hip and knee regions. these deficits include alternations in motor neurons pools excitability, muscle strength, kinematics and kinetics. this study add muscle inflexibility to the preciouse literature.

Conditions

Chronic Ankle Instability

Keywords

chronic ankle instability; Hamstring; flexibility

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hamstring muscle flexibility

  angle between tibia and femur during passive knee extension test

  throughout the study average 1 year

Study Arms (2)

CAI group

assessment had been done to this group that include patients with ankle sprain injury from more than one year and complain with repetitive injuries, giving way and instability feelings

non injured ankle group

assessment had been done to this group that include control participants had not injured their ankle before and matched with CAI in age, gender, dominant side

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 30 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Outpatients clinic faculty of physical therapy Cairo university

You may qualify if:

• The control group was self-reported to be healthy
• Had no ankle injury history
• Matched with CAI patients in gender, dominance side and simulated injured side
• CAI group had a self-report of a past history of unilateral ankle inversion injury since at least more than 1 year before the study onset which required a period of protected weight bearing and/or immobilization at least one day
• Patient reported a tendency for the ankle to give way and/or recurrent ankle sprain
• Perceives that the ankle was chronically weaker, more painful and/or less functional than the other ankle or than before first

You may not qualify if:

• Had a history of lower extremity injury
• Surgery or fracture
• History of low back dysfunction that required medical or surgical intervention within the last year, Current participation in formal or informal rehabilitation
• History of hamstring strain
• Bilateral ankle sprain injury
• Ankle injury within 3 months of participation
• History of ankle fracture and any neuromuscluskeletal disease could affect the condition.
