To quantify the incidence rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and ankle sprains according to player sex, playing level, and exposure setting (training vs. games) in basketball players....
PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect were searched. Only studies reporting the number of ACL injuries and/or ankle sprains alongside the number of athlete-exposures (training sessions an...
Thirty studies (17 reporting ACL injuries and 16 reporting ankle sprains) were included in the meta-analysis. Higher (p < 0.05) ACL injury incidence rates per 1000 athlete-exposures were recorded in f...
According to player sex, ACL injury incidence rate is higher in females, while ankle sprain incidence rate is greater in males. ACL injury and ankle sprain incidence rates are greater in players compe...
BACKGROUND Micro-needle knife (MNK) therapy releases the superficial fascia to alleviate pain and improve joint function in patients with acute ankle sprains (AAS). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy a...
1) determine the primary impairment addressed by each exercise included in exercise-based rehabilitation programs for patients with an acute ankle sprain; 2) Determine whether prescribed exercises inc...
We searched databases CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro, Google Scholar for RCT's including patients with acute ankle sprains, managed through exercise...
Rehabilitation after LAS comprises simple exercises in the sagittal plane that do not reflect mechanisms of re-injury. Future interventions should incorporate more open chain joint position sense trai...
It has been hypothesized that the corticospinal tract (CST) is involved in the neural origins underlying muscular deficits after an ankle sprain. Microstructural differences in the CST have been repor...
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with ankle sprains were identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in FinnGen based on hospital discharge records (7223 cases and 245,598 c...
Eighteen SNP were selected as forming possible causal links between ankle sprains and CST structure; F value ranged from 755 to 1026. Ankle sprains were associated with a reduction in the FA of the ri...
A genetic predisposition to ankle sprains can lead to maladaptive neuroplasticity of the CST, manifesting as abnormally organized neurites....
The medial collateral ligament is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. The high-speed pivoting and agility movements that are common in the sport of American Football put participants at an...
Two male student-athletes participating in football with a mean age of 20.5 years were diagnosed by a physician with medial collateral ligament grade 2 sprain. Both patients sustained their injuries i...
After the initial 72 hours of compression, elevation, and cryotherapy, the patients were both treated with PRT followed by progressive loading exercises. Following 4 treatment sessions of PRT over the...
In this case series, 2 patients competing in intercollege American Football were treated with PRT and progressive loading exercises to facilitate return to unrestricted activities and improve outcome ...
Balance deficiencies are common among aging adults. Musculoskeletal injuries such as lateral ankle sprains (LAS) also contribute to compromised balance; potentially amplifying the postural insufficien...
In this cohort design study, middle-age and older adults with a history of LAS completed an 8-week beginner-level yoga class. Balance was measured before and after the yoga intervention statically (fo...
Following the yoga intervention, older adults improved static postural control in the anterior-posterior direction, as well as dynamic postural control in selected reach directions of the SEBT relativ...
This is an important step in exploring how to help the aging population that likely has amplifications in balance deficiencies due to a common musculoskeletal injury, LAS. While more work is needed to...
This study aimed to investigate the burden of knee, hip, and lumbar spine disorders occurring in the year after an ankle sprain and the influence therapeutic exercise (TE) has on this burden....
A total of 33,361 individuals diagnosed with ankle sprain in the Military Health System between 2010 and 2011 were followed for 1 yr. The prevalence of knee, hip, and lumbar care-seeking injuries sust...
Of the total cohort, 20.5% ( n = 6848) of patients sustained a proximal injury. Specifically, 10.1% of the cohort sustained a knee ( n = 3356), 2.9% a hip ( n = 973), and 10.3% a lumbar injury ( n = 3...
One in five individuals that sought care for an ankle sprain experienced a proximal joint injury in the following year. TE for the management of the initial ankle sprain reduced the likelihood of prox...
A literature search was conducted to systematically review and meta-analyze time-loss and recurrence rate of lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in male professional football players. Six electronic databases...
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) and tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) are debilitating conditions reported to occur after ankle sprain due to their proximity to the ankle complex. The objective ...
The aim of this systematic review was to identify prospectively measured ankle sprain risk factors in field-based team contact sports....
Eight databases including SPORTDiscus, CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE (EBSCO), Education Source, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Pubmed were searched using specific Boolean terms. A modified-CASP diagno...
4012 records were returned from the online search and 17 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. Twelve different risk factors including anatomic alignment of the foot and ankle, joint lax...
This review updates the literature on prospective risk factors for ankle sprain in a specific population rather than heterogeneous cohorts previously studied. From more than 20 categories of risk fact...
