Comparison of Proprioceptive Training Oyer Technical Training in Prevention of Recurrent Ankle Sprain among Professional Footballers

ObjectiveTo examine whether people with recurrent ankle sprain, have specific physical and sensorimotor deficits.DesignA systematic review of journal articles in English using electronic databases to September 2009. Included articles compared physical or sensorimotor measures in people with recurrent (≥2) ankle sprains and uninjured controls.Main outcome groupsOutcome measures were grouped into: physical characteristics, strength, postural stability, proprioception, response to perturbation, biomechanics and functional tests. A meta-analysis was undertaken where comparable results within an outcome group were inconsistent.ResultsFifty-five articles met the inclusion criteria. Compared with healthy controls, people with recurrent sprains demonstrated radiographic changes in the talus, changes in foot position during gait and prolonged time to stabilisation after a jump. There were no differences in ankle range of motion or functional test performance. Pooled results showed greater postural sway when standing with eyes closed (SMD=0.9, 95% CI 0.4 to 1.4) or on unstable surfaces (0.5, 0.1 to 1.0) and decreased concentric inversion strength (1.1, 0.2 to 2.1) but no difference in evertor strength, inversion joint position sense or peroneal latency in response to a perturbation.ConclusionThere are specific impairments in people with recurrent ankle sprain but not necessarily in areas commonly investigated.

Radiological Examinations

Chronic ankle instability is a common complication of ankle sprain. The clinical assessment of ankle instability is usually incomplete and difficult to interpret. Recently, more attention has been paid to the value of the anterior drawer test of the ankle. We assessed the accuracy of a modification of the anterior drawer test, comparing it with radiological stress view of the ankle in 25 patients with recurrent ankle sprain. The radiological examinations were performed by a TELOS instrument and included lateral and anteroposterior stress views. We found that the modified anterior drawer test correlated with the posterior opening of the tibiotalar joint and with the lateral tilt of the talus. We conclude that a slightly positive modified anterior drawer test may indicate injury to the anterior talofibular ligament. A significant movement of the ankle elicited by the modified anterior drawer test may indicate combined injury to anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments.

Taping and proprioceptive training are widely reported beneficial in for treatment of nkle sprains. Several studies reported that the proprioceptive sense training is a potential therapy for improving impaired neuromuscular function.The intention of this article was to evaluate Taping followed by proprioceptive training versus proprioceptive training without taping for Ankle Sprain ecurrence rate. All sprained judokas with acute ankle sprain were advised for standard procedure (ice, rest, elevation, and compression with a compressive bandage). Initially 30 sprained judokas were categorized randomly into two groups and then underwent studies for 8 weeks: one group was treated with tape and proprioceptive training and the other only with proprioceptive training. Both groups were followed up for duration of six month. The study indicated that there is not significant difference between taping and without taping groups. Recurrence rate of acute ankle sprain shows no significant linkage between employment of taping or its absence. Further studies with greater number of participants are suggested.
