Ankle Joint

3.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ankle bracing and taping significantly improve stability during walking. Bracing offers greater restriction of inversion motion at a slower rate compared to taping.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Prophylactic ankle supports are widely used for injury prevention.
  • The efficacy of external ankle supports in mitigating inversion stress remains a subject of debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effects of ankle bracing and taping versus a control condition on inversion range of motion, time to maximum inversion, inversion velocity, and perceived ankle stability.
  • To evaluate these parameters during a dynamic inversion perturbation while walking.

Main Methods:

  • A crossover study design was employed in a research laboratory setting.
  • Forty-two physically active participants (16 men, 26 women) underwent a dynamic ankle inversion perturbation while walking.
  • Three conditions were tested: ankle brace (ASO brace), ankle tape (closed basketweave technique), and a control (no external support).

Main Results:

  • Both ankle bracing and taping significantly reduced maximum inversion, increased time to maximum inversion, and decreased inversion velocity compared to the control condition (P < .001).
  • Bracing demonstrated greater restriction of inversion (20.1°) and slower inversion velocity (142.6°/s) than taping (22.3°, 174.3°/s).
  • Both bracing and taping significantly enhanced perceived ankle stability compared to the control group (P < .001).

Conclusions:

  • Ankle bracing and taping are effective in altering inversion kinematics and improving perceived stability during dynamic walking.
  • Ankle bracing provides superior restriction of inversion motion at a slower rate compared to ankle taping.
