“…We note that our findings differ from those of John et al, 31 who used a crossover study design to investigate the effects of an elastic ankle support on static and dynamic balance in patients with CAI, as assessed, respectively, with the Balance Error Scoring System and the Y Balance Test. They concluded that the acute use of elastic ankle support was ineffective in improving static and dynamic balance.…”

Effects of Kinesiotape vs Soft and Semirigid Ankle Orthoses on Balance in Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2020

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a frequent complication of ankle sprain that may be associated with long-term consequences. Although taping and bracing are common interventions that are widely used by clinicians and athletic trainers for patients with CAI, no studies have compared the effects of kinesiotaping and bracing on balance performance in these patients. The present study aimed to compare the effects of ankle kinesiotaping, a soft ankle orthosis, and a semirigid ankle orthosis on balance performance in patients with CAI. Methods: Sixty patients with CAI were randomly assigned to 4 groups that received kinesiotaping, a soft orthosis, a semirigid orthosis, or no treatment (control group). Dynamic and static balance were measured with the modified Star Excursion Balance Test, single leg hop test, and single leg stance test before and after a 4-week intervention period. Results: Significant between-group differences were seen in all evaluated outcomes ( P ≤ .003). The lowest reach distances in all directions in the modified Star Excursion Balance Test were found in the control group, and these patients also had a significantly shorter measured distance in the single leg hop test, and more errors in the single leg stance test compared with the 3 intervention groups. No significant differences were found among the 3 intervention groups. Conclusion: Use of kinesiotaping and a soft or a semirigid ankle brace for 4 weeks were all beneficial in improving static and dynamic balance in individuals with CAI. None of the interventions was superior to the other 2. Level of Evidence: Level I, randomized controlled trial.

“…The observed chronic changes in the treatment group are slightly below the reported recommendations for minimal detectable change of the WBLT (Powden et al, 2015 ) but were significantly different from the changes in controls. We still consider the change practically relevant since a comparable absolute difference in WBLT was reported between young adults with and without chronic ankle instability (John et al, 2019 ). Our result adds valuable evidence to the limited existing research investigating the long-term effectiveness of foam rolling on ROM.…”

BackgroundFoam rolling has been shown to acutely improve joint range of motion (ROM). However, limited knowledge exists on the chronic and residual effects. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the chronic and residual effects of a 2-week roller–massager intervention on ankle dorsiflexion ROM and dynamic balance.MethodsForty-two participants (24.3 ± 2.5 years, 33 males, 9 females) were randomly assigned to either roller-massage (RM) or control group (= no intervention). Ankle ROM was assessed with the weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) and dynamic balance with the Y-Balance test for both limbs. The RM group was instructed to roll their calf muscles for three sets of 60 s per leg on 6 days a week over 2 weeks. Acute effects were measured during baseline testing for dorsiflexion ROM and dynamic balance immediately after foam rolling. Chronic and residual effects were measured 1 day and 7 days after the intervention period. Multivariate ANOVA was performed for post-hoc comparisons to determine acute, chronic, and residual effects.ResultsSignificant acute and chronic foam rolling effects (p <0.05) were found for ankle dorsiflexion ROM. The chronic increase in ROM slightly decreased 7 days post-intervention but remained significantly above baseline (p < 0.05). Regarding dynamic balance, there were no acute but chronic (p < 0.05) and residual (p < 0.05) effects.ConclusionUsing a roller–massager for a 2-week period chronically increases ROM and dynamic balance. These increases are still significant 7 days post-intervention emphasizing the sustainability of foam rolling effects.

“…239,392 Poor performance on the SEBT (less than 85.2% reach distance in the posteromedial direction) was found to be the best single predictor of a successful treatment (OR = 11.32). 42 Other studies support the anterior reach direction 89,208,234,250 as well as the posteromedial direction as being able to differentiate those with CAI from healthy controls. 234,250…”

B Clinicians should include patient age, body mass index, pain coping strategies, report of instability, history of previous sprain, ability to bear weight, pain with weight bearing, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), medial jointline tenderness, balance, and ability to jump and land (as safely tolerated) in their initial assessment, because of their role in influencing the clinical course and estimation of time to accomplish the goals of an individual with an acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS). CLINICAL COURSE -CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITYC Clinicians may include previous treatment, number of sprains, pain level, and self-report of function in their evaluation, as well as an assessment of the sensorimotor movement systems of the foot, ankle, knee, and hip during dynamic postural control and functional movements, because of their role in influencing the clinical course and estimation of time to accomplish the goals of an individual with chronic ankle instability (CAI). DIAGNOSIS/CLASSIFICATION -ACUTE LATERAL ANKLE SPRAINB Clinicians should use special tests, including the reverse anterolateral drawer test and anterolateral talar palpation in addition to the traditional anterior drawer test, and a thorough history and physical examination to aid in the diagnosis of a LAS. DIAGNOSIS/CLASSIFICATION -CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITYB When determining whether an individual has CAI, clinicians should use a reliable and valid discriminative instrument, such as the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool or the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability, as well as a battery of functional performance tests that have established validity to differentiate between healthy controls and individuals with CAI. EXAMINATION -OUTCOME MEASURESA Clinicians should use validated patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function and pain interference scales, the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale, as part of a standard clinical examination. Clinicians should utilize these before and 1 or more times after the application of interventions intended to alleviate the impairments of body function and structure, activity limitations, and participation restrictions associated with an acute LAS or CAI.C Clinicians may use the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire in the acute and postacute periods after a LAS to assess effective coping strategies for pain, and the 11-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire to assess fear of movement and reinjury and fear-avoidance beliefs in those with CAI. EXAMINATION -PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENT MEASURESA Clinicians should assess and document ankle swelling, ROM, talar translation, talar inversion, and single-leg balance in patients with an acute LAS, postacute LAS, or CAI at baseline and 2 or more times over an episode of care. Clinicians should specifically include measures of dorsiflexion, using the weight-bearing lunge test, static single-limb balance on a firm surface with eyes...
