Brief Summary

Background: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a very common injury in the general population and in the world of basketball in particular, initially Its recurrence rate is very high, generating chronic ankle instability (CAI), accompanied by decreased muscle activation in the ankle musculature and lack of motor control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the activation of the peroneal musculature during the sports gestures of layup and free throw, and the motor control of both in healthy patients and in patients with CAI. Method: Using a surface electromyography study (sEMG) of 58 basketball players of amateur teams, 36 women and 22 men, with and without CAI, in the peroneus lateralis longus (PLL) and peroneus lateralis brevis musculature (PLB).

Conditions

Chronic Ankle Instability, CAI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measurement of the different activation patron of the peroneal muscles (electromyograpic analysis), in the different phases of the layup gesture , in patients with CAI and without CAI.

  As a primary outcome measure, the investigators evaluated the difference in the activation of the PLL and PLB muscles both in patients suffering from CAI and in those who do not suffer from it, during the development of the layup.

  Up to 28 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of moment of greatest activation (electromyographic evaluation) of the peroneal muscles, and motor control in layup gesture, in patients with CAI and without CAI.

  Up to 28 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Control

Players of basketball team without CAI: this players have no history of ankle sprain

Case

Players of basketball team with CAI: scored ≥ 11 on the functional ankle instability identification questionnaire.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants were selected through non-probabilistic sampling in several amateur basketball teams in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Both male and female basketball players with and without CAI were recruited A total of 58 subjects participated in the study with a mean age of 29.19±6.98 years a weight of 66,46±7,23 Kilograms and a height of 1,74±0,07 meters, with a body mass index (BMI), obtained by dividing weight by height squared (kg/m\^2), average of 21.87±1.64, with no differences between the two groups.

You may qualify if:

• Volunteers aged 18-45 years
• Physical activity level of at least 3 hours per week
• First sprain more than one year ago
• No sprain in the 6 weeks prior to the test
• Scored ≥ 11 on the functional ankle instability identification questionnaire.

You may not qualify if:

• Having undergone lower limb surgery and/or diseases that may influence neuromuscular control
• Suffering from any type of incapacity to complete the proposed sporting gesture
• Patients without CAI should not have a history of ankle sprains.
