Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of reduced visual feedback on dynamic postural control among chronic ankle instability, lateral ankle sprain, and uninjured participants. The results showed that CAI patients relied more on visual feedback during dynamic postural control, but they may not be able to compensate for disrupted visual feedback effectively.

Summary: This study evaluated patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers who had a sprain without instability, and healthy controls using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). The study found that individuals with CAI had significantly lower reach distance in the anterior (ANT) direction of their dominant leg, indicating the need to consider postural control strategies in their rehabilitation.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to explore the measurement properties of different assessment methods for individuals with a history of lateral ankle sprain (LAS). The study found that Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) as a patient-reported outcome measurement, Multiple Hop, and Star Excursion Balance Tests (SEBT) showed good measurement properties in history of LAS patients. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the measurement responsiveness in acute situations.

Summary: This study investigated postural control and muscle activity during the limit of stability test in subjects with chronic ankle instability. The results showed that CAI subjects exhibited increased muscle activation, restricted excursions, and poorer directional control compared to healthy subjects. This suggests a compromised ability to move their center of gravity within stability limits and altered ankle muscle activity during the LOS test in CAI subjects.

Summary: Hip arthroscopy and subsequent rehabilitation can lead to improvements in dynamic postural control, as measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). At 3 months after surgery, improvements were observed in the posteromedial, posterolateral, and anterolateral directions of SEBT reach. By 6 months after surgery, all directions of SEBT reach had improved, with the posterolateral reach reaching the level of healthy controls.

Summary: Both resistance training (RT) and balance training (BT) significantly improved strength and dynamic balance in patients with recurrent lateral ankle sprain. Additionally, BT had significantly greater improvements in crossover hop test results compared to RT. The changes in pain, sports, and quality of life outcomes were significantly greater in the BT group than the RT group.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess how ankle muscles affect the performance of the SEBT in individuals with stable ankles, a history of ankle sprain, and chronic ankle instability (CAI). The results showed that individuals with stable ankles and copers had greater reach distance compared to those with CAI. Subjects with stable ankles and CAI had increased activation of the tibialis anterior muscles, while copers had increased activation of the fibularis longus muscles. Subjects with CAI had increased activation of the medial gastrocnemius muscles. Overall, copers and individuals with CAI demonstrated altered neuromuscular function compared to those with stable ankles.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of preventive interventions for lateral ankle sprain in the general population. The results showed that proprioceptive training had better preventive effects, especially for individuals with a history of ankle sprain. Ankle bracing did not show a significant advantage in preventing ankle sprain compared to no bracing. Proprioceptive training and ankle bracing had similar preventive effects. However, there is limited evidence regarding pain, swelling, costs, and time loss. In conclusion, proprioceptive training is recommended for preventing lateral ankle sprain, particularly for individuals with a history of ankle sprain. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of ankle bracing.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the intra-foot biomechanical differences among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy individuals during dynamic tasks. The study found that copers and CAI individuals had smaller dorsiflexion angles and copers presented a more eversion position compared to healthy participants. Copers also had greater dorsiflexion angles in the metatarsophalangeal joint and more inversion moments in the subtalar joint during certain tasks. These findings can help in designing interventions to restore ankle joint functions in CAI individuals.

Summary: This study found that there was a significant correlation between mSEBT score and AAFML in subjects with CAI, while in the control group, there was a significant correlation between AAFML and TTS. The results suggest that there is no association between different dynamic balance tasks, indicating altered central neural control in individuals with CAI. Clinicians and researchers should not use a single task to assess dynamic postural control.

Summary: Patients treated in the emergency department for an ankle sprain commonly receive medications, with opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being the primary choices. The type of medication administered varies based on age, with younger patients more likely to receive nonopioid analgesics, while older patients are more frequently prescribed opioids.

Summary: The study compared the acceleration and jerk following a jump stabilization task between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and uninjured controls. It found that individuals with CAI had greater acceleration and jerk compared to the controls, suggesting they made faster and more frequent postural control corrections to regain balance after a jump.

Summary: Individuals with CAI who did not attend supervised rehabilitation after initial ankle sprain showed worse static postural control outcomes compared to those who did attend. Therefore, clinicians should encourage patients with acute ankle sprains to seek medical attention and continue with physical rehabilitation for better recovery.

Summary: This study examined tweets about telepractice during the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizing an established health technology implementation framework for analysis. The volume of tweets increased in the early months of the pandemic, with a majority coming from clinical professionals. While many topics in the tweets aligned with the NASSS framework, some unique phenomena related to speechlanguage pathology were also identified. The findings have implications for future telepractice implementation efforts and research directions.

Summary: The study suggests that decreased corticospinal excitability of the tibialis anterior muscle in CAI patients is associated with persistent deficits in dorsiflexion range of motion. Cortical inhibition may influence active DFRoM, and addressing centrally mediated alterations could be crucial in restoring DFRoM in individuals with CAI.
