MECHANISM OF ACUTE MECHANISM OF ACUTE ANKLE SPRAINANKLE SPRAIN
Supination of the rearfoot coupled with external rotation of the lower leg– Plantar flexion– Inversion– Internal Rotation
More plantar flexion increases likelihood of a sprain (Wright et al, 2000)

PATHOMECHANICAL PATHOMECHANICAL MODEL OF ACUTE SPRAINMODEL OF ACUTE SPRAIN
Vertical ground reaction force medial to the subtalar axis of rotation will cause a “supination moment” (Fuller, 1999)
If supination moment exceeds pronation moment, potential for injury exists

In full weight bearing, the stability of the talus is due to the articular surfaces, not ligaments (Stormant et al, 1985)
Cadaver experiments have shown that the talus is stable during full weight bearing even in the presence of bimalleolar fracture (Michelson et al, 2002)

Can the Can the peroneals peroneals respond quickly respond quickly enough to prevent injury?enough to prevent injury?
54 msec needed for reaction to inversion perturbation
Additional 72 msec needed to generate force in tendon
Total time to maximal inversion may be <45 msec
Preparatory activity of the peroneals is essential if hyperinversion is to be prevented

Residual impairments after lateral ankle sprain remain problematic
Multifactorial etiology of chronic ankle instability is not entirely understood
Specific mechanical and functional insufficiencies should be assessed and treated accordingly on a per patient basis
