“…Many recent reviews and multifactorial studies have provided important information outlining that there are multiple potential contributing mechanical, neuromuscular, functional, and/or perceived deficits that may persist long after physiologic tissue healing times have elapsed and interventions have been completed following an acute ankle joint sprain. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Consistently, these reviews and multifactorial studies support the proposition that CAI is a multifaceted and complex condition, requiring further indepth interdisciplinary study.…”

While research on chronic ankle instability (CAI) and awareness of its impact on society and health care systems has grown substantially in the last 2 decades, the inconsistency in participant or patient selection criteria across studies presents a potential obstacle to addressing the problem properly. This major gap within the literature limits the ability to generalize this evidence to the target patient population. Therefore, there is a need to provide standards for patient or participant selection criteria in research focused on CAI with justifications using the best available evidence. The International Ankle Consortium provides this position paper to present and discuss an endorsed set of selection criteria for patients with CAI based on the best available evidence to be used in future research and study designs. These recommendations will enhance the validity of research conducted in this clinical population with the end goal of bringing the research evidence to the clinician and patient.

Lateral ankle sprain is a common orthopedic injury with a very high recurrence rate in athletes. After decades of research, it is still unclear what contributes to the high recurrence rate of ankle sprain, and what is the most effective intervention to reduce the incident of initial and recurrent injuries. In addition, clinicians often implement balance training as part of the rehabilitation protocol in hopes of enhancing the neuromuscular control and proprioception of the ankle joint. However, there is no consensus on whether the neuromuscular control and proprioception are compromised in unstable ankles. To reduce the prevalence of ankle sprains, the effectiveness of engaging balance training to enhance the neuromuscular control and proprioception of the ankle joint is also questionable. Core tip: Lateral ankle sprain is a common orthopedic injury with a high recurrence rate. However, there is no consensus on whether neuromuscular control and proprioception are compromised in unstable ankles, and whether proprioception training can reduce initial and recurrent ankle injuries. The purpose of this review is to discuss the etiology and intervention of initial and recurrent ankle sprains, focusing on the role of neuromuscular control and proprioception at the ankle joint. This review can provide clinicians the knowledge of constructing better examination protocols and rehabilitation programs for individuals with the unstable ankle.Hung Y.

!Lateral ankle sprains are among the most common sports injuries, with a prevalence of 25 to 30 % of all injuries. At least one-third of individuals develop long-term complaints and chronic instabilities at the ankle, which in many cases cannot be attributed to mechanical insufficiencies of the joint. This condition is referred to as functional ankle instability (FAI). Impairments of the sensorimotor control system, such as disturbed proprioception and postural control, as well as reduced muscle strength and reflex activity, have been suggested to contribute to the aetiology of FAI. This review summarises the current body of literature regarding sensorimotor control in individuals with FAI. We discuss the results in the context of current neurophysiological models of the development of functional joint instabilities.
