Objectives The deficits in sensory pathways caused by peripheral edema, pain, and
inflammation of the damaged ligaments may induce maladaptive changes within the central …

Background Lateral ankle sprains are the most common ankle injuries in sports and have
the highest recurrence rates. Almost half of the patients experiencing lateral ankle sprains …

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) might lead to joint sensory deafferentation, which induces
maladaptive neuroplasticity, especially the morphological atrophy of the cerebellar vermis …

Background: Ankle sprain causes proprioceptor injuries and prolonged joint deafferentation,
which might lead to maladaptive neuroplasticity in patients with chronic ankle instability …

The objective of this study was to investigate whether brain volume changes occur in
patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using voxel-based morphometry and assessing …

Background Chronic ankle instability is a common sports injury that often presents with
increased plantarflexion and restricted dorsiflexion. The cumulative effect of peripheral …

Context: Current research into the etiology of joint instability has yielded inconsistent results,
limiting our understanding of how to prevent and treat ligamentous injury effectively …

Purpose This study aimed to quantify differences in white matter microstructure and static
postural control in individuals with and without a previous history of a lateral ankle sprain …

Purpose Joint deafferentation after post-ankle sprain ligament healing can disrupt sensory
input from the ankle and induce maladaptive neuroplasticity, especially in the cerebellum …

Background Increasing evidence has proved that chronic ankle instability (CAI) is highly
related to the central nervous system (CNS). However, it is still unclear about the inherent …
