Objective: To investigate the association between sex, self-reported ankle function, pain intensity, kinesiophobia, and perceived ankle instability in athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Design: Cross-Sectional Study.
Setting: University.
Participants: College club sports athletes with CAI (n = 42).
Main Outcome Measures: Relationships with the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) score and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 (TSK-11), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), sex (0: male, 1: female), and ankle pain intensity by the Numeric Rating Scale were explored with multiple regression analysis.
Results: The regression model explained 50.3% of the variance of the CAIT score (P < 0.001), and the TSK-11 score (B = -0.382, P = 0.002), the FAAM sports subscale score (B = 0.122, P = 0.038), and sex (B = -2.646, P = 0.031) were significant independent variables for the CAIT score (P < 0.001), while pain intensity was not significant (B = -0.182, P = 0.504). These results indicated that higher TSK-11 score, lower FAAM sports subscale score, and being female were related to lower CAIT score.
Conclusions: Kinesiophobia related to perceived instability along with self-reported function and sex in athletes with CAI. Clinicians should assess the psychological aspects of athletes with CAI.

Osteoarthritis is caused by damage to the articular cartilage due to bone-on-bone collisions and friction. The length, width, and thickness of the ligaments are expected to change in order to regulate excessive bone-to-bone movement. We aimed to clarify the relationship between ligament morphology and joint surface degeneration in the ankle joints using macroscopic observations and measurements.

Ankle sprains are a common injury among athletes and the general population, with chronic ankle instability (CAI) being a frequent complication. CAI patients often display altered neuromuscular control adaptations. This study analyzed muscle synergy patterns in 20 CAI patients during anticipated and unanticipated landing tasks to understand their neuromuscular adaptation strategies.

Background/objectives: Lower limb cutaneous reflex amplitudes can modulate across gait, which helps humans adjust rhythmic motor outputs to maintain balance in an ever-changing environment. Preliminary evidence suggests people who suffer from repetitive ankle sprains and residual feelings of giving way demonstrate altered cutaneous reflex patterns in the gastrocnemius. However, before cutaneous reflex assessment can be implemented as a clinical outcome measure, there is a need to substantiate these early findings by measuring reflex amplitudes across longer latency periods and exploring the variability of reflexes within each subject.

: The ankle joint is among the most vulnerable areas for injuries during daily activities and sports. This study focuses on individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), comparing the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limb during side-step cutting under various conditions. The aim is to analyze the impact of kinesiology tape (KT) length on the biomechanical properties of the lower limb during side-step cutting, thereby providing theoretical support and practical guidance for protective measures against lower-limb sports injuries.
