An observational study in Chronic Ankle Instability, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 30 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-09-10.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Observational
chronic ankle instability could be associated with some proximal deficits as in hip and knee regions. these deficits include alternations in motor neurons pools excitability, muscle strength, kinematics and kinetics. this study add muscle inflexibility to the preciouse literature.
Background: influence of a localized injury in a distal joint on the function of proximal muscles is an important consideration in assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. Up to the investigator's knowledge, there is no study assess flexibility changes in CAI. Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate Hamstring flexibility in CAI. Material and methods: The study conducted on 42 subjects with unilateral CAI and controls had measure of hamstring flexibility using digital inclinometer during passive knee extension test .Results: Revealed statistical and clinical significant difference between non-injured control group and CAI group with decreased hamstring flexibility in the later. Conclusion: CAI subjects have proximal muscular affection include hamstring tightness which may alter sacroiliac joint stability and subsequently back pain.
