Brief Summary

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

The objective of the study is to evaluate the postural control and proprioception before and after external capsulo-ligament reconstruction for ankle instability.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the postural control and proprioception before and after external capsulo-ligament reconstruction for ankle instability using differents tests, questionnaires and instrument:

* Delos system (computerized oscillating platform)
* Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), l'American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs), SF12 questionnaires
* modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with chronic post-traumatic lateral ankle instability

The study population consists in patients affected by chronic post-traumatic lateral ankle instability who must undergo surgical intervention of ankle external ligament reconstruction.

The patients will be analyzed pre and postoperatively using differents tests, questionnaires, instrument and clinical evaluation:

* Delos system (computerized oscillating platform)
* Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), l'American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs), SF12 questionnaires
* modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Preoperative evaluation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Preoperative evaluation using differents clinical evaluation tests, questionnaires, and instrument:

* Delos system (computerized oscillating platform)
* Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), l'American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs), SF12 questionnaires
* modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

Postoperative evaluation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Postoperative evaluation at 4 months of follow up after surgery using differents clinical evaluation tests, questionnaires, and instrument:

* Delos system (computerized oscillating platform)
* Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), l'American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs), SF12 questionnaires
* modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
