Objective: To analyse the association between Ankle-GO score during the return to sport process and the probability of becoming a coper 1 year after lateral ankle sprain (LAS). Copers were defined as patients returning to their preinjury sport without loss of function and reporting no episodes of reinjury or giving-way.

Methods: Two months after a LAS, patients performed the Ankle-GO assessment which includes a cluster of four functional tests and two self-reported questionnaires for a maximum score of 25 points.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport Injury (ALR-RSI) scale specifically for assessing psychological readiness after a lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and to identify patients' ability to return to preinjury activity levels.
  • The study involved 64 patients who were evaluated at 2 and 4 months post-LAS; results indicated that the ALR-RSI scores were strongly correlated with other validated measurement scales.
  • The ALR-RSI demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability and was effective in predicting which patients would not return to sports by the four-month mark, solidifying its role as a valuable assessment tool for clinicians.

Background: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is the most common sports injury, leading to a high rate of recurrence and the development of chronic ankle instability. One possible explanation is the lack of objective, evidence-based criteria to inform return to sport decisions following LAS. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the efficacy of a new functional score to distinguish patients at risk of recurrent LAS within two years after the initial injury.

Purpose: The return to sport is one of the main goals following Achilles tendon tear repair. Several psychological factors influence the return to sport after a sports injury. The traditional tools to assess the return to sport do not take into account psychological factors.

Background: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is the most common sports-related injury. However, there are currently no published evidence-based criteria to guide the patient's return to sport (RTS) and this decision is generally time-based. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a new score (Ankle-GO) and its predictive ability for RTS at the same level of play after LAS.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a common cause of persistent and disabling neurological symptoms. Diagnostic delay may lead to no treatment, inappropriate treatment or even iatrogenic symptoms. Yet, several treatments significantly reduce physical symptoms and improve functioning in FND patients even though not all patients respond to the currently available treatments.
