Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Lateral ankle instability may be acute or chronic. Acute instability usually occurs due to extreme rear foot supination with planter-flexion trauma leads to injury of lateral collateral ligament complex especially the anterior talofibular ligament. Most ankle ligamentous injuries are treated conservatively. However, 20% to 40% of patients complain of chronic instability and persistent discomfort. Structural instability, loss of proprioceptive capabilities, and the weakness of peroneal muscles seem to induce chronic instability
