Rating systems for evaluation of functional ankle instability: prospective evaluation in a cohort of patients treated with monopolar capacitive-coupled radiofrequency.

Unlabelled: Evaluation of patient outcomes should include the use of validated scoring systems to determine disease-specific outcomes. Many scoring systems are being used for disorders of the ankle joint. However, not all instruments are capable of detecting changes associated with functional ankle instability (FAI), since their focus is toward pathological entities with greater impact on individual's physical and mental well-being.
