Dynamic plantar pressure measurement can distinguish functional ankle instability from mechanical instability. This method aids in surgical decisions for chronic ankle instability by identifying abnormal foot loading patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine

Context:

  • Chronic lateral ankle instability presents diagnostic challenges, often indistinguishable from mechanical instability via standard imaging.
  • Distinguishing functional from mechanical instability is crucial for effective treatment planning, particularly surgical reconstruction.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the utility of dynamic plantar pressure distribution measurement in identifying patients with functional ankle instability.
  • To compare plantar pressure patterns in patients with chronic ankle instability against healthy controls.

Summary:

  • A prospective study measured plantar pressure during gait in 65 patients with chronic ankle instability (35 functional, 30 mechanical) and 100 healthy controls using the EMED-SF system.
  • Patients with functional instability exhibited significantly increased lateral foot loading (P = 0.01) compared to controls and those with mechanical instability.

  • Mechanical instability cases showed a tendency towards medial foot loading, potentially linked to peroneal muscle weakness and proprioceptive deficits.

    • Impact:

    • Dynamic plantar pressure analysis offers valuable, objective data to aid clinical decision-making in chronic ankle instability.
    • This technique can help differentiate between functional and mechanical instability, guiding individualized treatment strategies.
