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 …

Context: Postural control deficits arising from injured ankles are central to chronic ankle
instability (CAI) and its persistent symptoms. This is usually measured by recording the …

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

Background Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a form of musculoskeletal disease that can
occur after a lateral ankle sprain, and it is characterized by pain, recurrent ankle sprains, a …

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 Pain plays an important role in chronic ankle instability (CAI), and prolonged
pain may be associated with ankle dysfunction and abnormal neuroplasticity. Purpose To …

To determine whether existing exercise therapies can restore the joint position sense (JPS)
deficits of patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) when compared with controlled non …

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

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

Context: The supplementary motor area (SMA) is involved in the functional deficits of chronic
ankle instability (CAI), but the structural basis of its abnormalities remains unclear. Objective …
