“…The analysis for the left ankle showed a similar trend, with Cronbach’s α = 0.74. The internal consistency values of the CAIT obtained in this study are in line with those found in previous studies assessing the validity of the scale in other samples [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The evaluations of both ankles revealed consistent patterns, suggesting a potential interdependence where the instability of one ankle may contribute to the destabilization of the other.…”

“…Gribble et al (2014) suggested that, as a diagnostic tool, the CAIT has shown promise in differentiating patients with minor ankle sprains and those with CAI [20]. Various versions and adaptations of the CAIT are present in the literature [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, to the best of our knowledge, this scale has rarely been administered in sports [31][32][33].…”

Background: The ease of administration of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) could represent a methodology for periodically evaluating athletes, preventing ankle instability injuries. This study aimed to achieve three objectives: (a) to evaluate the applicability of the CAIT scale in volleyball; (b) to explore whether ankle instability presents a greater risk in lower-level volleyball categories and whether elite athletes demonstrate an ability to mitigate this risk; and (c) to identify potential predictors of ankle instability. Methods: Eighty female volleyball players participated in this cross-sectional observational study. The CAIT was administered to evaluate the athletes belonging to some teams in Series A, B, and C. Results: The Spearman’s ranks correlation coefficient showed significant correlations between CAIT items. Additionally, the Cronbach’s α showed a high internal consistency. Our results showed a significant difference between athletes who reported pain and those who did not (p < 0.001). The multiple linear regression model analysis showed that pain was a predictor of ankle instability (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the CAIT can be used to evaluate ankle stability in volleyball players. This scale could represent a valuable tool for implementing specific intervention programs to prevent ankle injuries in athletes.
