Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate the postural control and proprioception before and after external capsulo-ligament reconstruction for ankle instability.
Detailed Description
The objective of the study is to evaluate the postural control and proprioception before and after external capsulo-ligament reconstruction for ankle instability using differents tests, questionnaires and instrument: * Delos system (computerized oscillating platform) * Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), l'American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs), SF12 questionnaires * modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle score (AOFAs) questionnaire
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
AOFAs: values from 0 to 100 dependent on limitations in performing activities
modified Star Excursional Balance Test (mSEBT) functional test
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
mSEBT: best value resulting from the 3 equilibrium tests standardized for the length of the limb. The tests consist in reaching the greater distance with a foot along three (inverted Y-shaped) axes with between them an angle of 90 ° (rear) and two of 135 ° (antero-medial and anterior-lateral) while the opposite foot remains still on the ground
Short Physical Performance Battery functional test
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
The SPPB scale is a short battery of tests designed to evaluate the functionality of the lower limbs. This battery consists of 3 different sections. The total score of the scale has a range from 0 to 12.
Delos (computerized oscillating platform)
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
The patients will be analyzed pre and postoperatively using a computerized oscillating platform that shows the response of the foot as an adaptation to the ground. The result is expressed through stability index (%) compared to the average of the population.
Foot & Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) questionnaire.
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
FAAM: expresses the personal evaluation of the patient on his difficulty in performing activities using 5 values for each question: no difficulty, slight difficulty, moderate difficulty, extreme difficulty, inability.
Short Form Health Survey - 12 questionnaire
Time Frame: End of the study, 18 month from the beginning (04 August 2020)
SF12: personal assessment of one's state of health using multiple-answer questions with different values for each question.
