Brief Summary

chronic ankle instability previously approved in many studies that it may lead to more proximal adaptations and negative long term consequences. one of those studies reported, ankle instability patients has hamstring muscle shortening in comparison with non sprained subjects. another one concluded that gluteus maximums muscle has delayed activation and weakness in CAI patients. Both muscles (hamstring and gluteus Maximus ) contribute to sacroiliac joint stability. therefore, this study asked a novel research question, was sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) associated with CAI?

Conditions

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Keywords

chronic ankle instability; Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• odd's ratio of sacroiliac joint dysfunction

  association between CAI and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

  throughout the study about 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• difference of pelvic torsion between CAI and control

  throughout the study about 1 year

• correlation between pelvic torsion and giving way episodes

  throughout the study about one year

• corelation between pelvic torsion and perceived sensation of instability

  throughout the study about 1 year

Study Arms (2)

CAI group

Case group is CAI group that recruit patients complain of ankle insatiability and giving way mainly

control group

control group recruits participants with non injured ankle, matched with case group in gender and dominant limb

Eligibility Criteria

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

Study Population

Recruited from faculty of physical therapy through announcements for volunteering to participate in noninvasive study include patients complaining of ankle instability and others did not have any injury in their ankle before

You may qualify if:

• young active people between 18-30 years old
• CAI group has a self-report of a past history of unilateral ankle inversion injury since at least more than 1 year before the study onset
• Required a period of protected weight bearing and/or immobilization at least one day
• The patient reported a tendency to give way or repeatedly turn over during functional activity
• At least 2 giving way episodes during the year before the study onset and/or recurrent ankle sprain
• Perceived that the ankle was chronically weaker, more painful, and/or less functional than other non-injured ankle or than before first injury.
• Positive anterior drawer test and /or talar tilt test

You may not qualify if:

• Trunk asymmetry angle 5 - 7 degrees
• Leg length difference more than 0.5 cm
• History of autoimmune diseases, complains of ankylosing spondylitis and morning stiffness
• Participation in physical therapy regimen within a year before enrolling in the study
• Bilateral ankle sprain injury
• Ankle sprain within 3 months of participation
• If they had only midline or symmetrical pain above the level of L5 or radicular pain with neurological deficits (sensory or motor deficits)
• History of spinal surgery, infection, tumors, fracture of the spine, pelvis or lower extremities within 2 years before enrolling in the study.
• Hospitalization for severe trauma or car accident
• Pregnant women
• Any neurological and orthopedics diseases could affect the conditions
