External Ankle Supports - 3D Motion Analysis
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Chronic Ankle Instability
- Registration Number
- NCT01810471
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital Heidelberg
- Brief Summary
Untreated ankle sprains often remain symptomatic and may end in chronic instability. The aim of our study is to quantify the stabilizing effect of different devices. Through the use of a foot measurement model in 3D motion analysis the influence of the devices with respect to a mechanical effect is examined by means of different tests. The dynamic postural control is quantified. The hypothesis was that the devices would stabilize differently the foot segments.
