Brief Summary

Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) is a valid patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to determine the presence of ankle instability (AI) and assess its severity. The aim of current study is to adapt the CAIT into the Turkish language, test its psychometric properties and determine cut-off score in the Turkish population with AI compare to healthy counterparts. In order to evaluate the Turkish version of CAIT (CAIT-TR), data will obtaine from 200-250 participants with and without AI. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, cut-off score, and ceiling and floor effects will evaluate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cumberland Ankle Instabililty Tool (CAIT)

  CAIT is a very simple, reliable, and valid measurement tool that is used without comparing with the contralateral ankle, which consists of 9 questions and is scored between 0 and 30, developed by Hiller and her colleagues in 2006 to measure the severity of functional ankle instability. Low scores of the participants indicate poor ankle stability, while high scores indicate good ankle stability .

  two weeks

Study Arms (2)

With chronic ankle instability (CAI)

Participations with CAI diagnosed by a medical doctor

Diagnostic Test: Cumberland ankle instability tool for diagnose to determine ankle instability and its severity

control (without CAI)

Participations without CAI who didn't have any ankle injury 2 years before the study recruitment

Diagnostic Test: Cumberland ankle instability tool for diagnose to determine ankle instability and its severity

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 35 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

During the research process, the participants will divide into 2 groups, then data will collect. Group 1 includes individuals with or without ankle sprain. These are individuals who do not have a history of injury from sprains and are not seeking treatment for similar reasons. Group 2 consisted of participants who have at least one sprained ankle injury/injury at least 2 months ago and who were seeking treatment in the past or on an ongoing basis.

You may qualify if:

• Participants consisted of women and men aged between 18 and 35.
• The volunteers to be included in the study are male and female individuals who have a history of ankle instabililty in the last two months at least for the study group and healthy individuals without any injury and the selection will be made at randomly.

You may not qualify if:

• As criteria for excluding the participants in the study; Those who have a risk of heart disease, use of pacemaker, epilepsy, transient ischemic attack, stroke or similar nervous disorders and any similar health problems,
• Those with psychiatric, cardiac, pulmonary diseases, pregnant women, those who use drugs that affect the heart rate and blood pressure, those with systemic, neuroplastic, inflammation disorders, those with structural back anomalies, and those who have had lumbar disc herniation complications will not be included in the study.
