Ankle arthritis and the treatment with ankle replacement
SummaryConcerns about the long-term outcomes of ankle arthrodesis, has created renewed interest in total ankle replacement over the last decade. New implants have been designed with attention to reproducing normal ankle anatomy, joint kinematics, ligament stability, and mechanical alignment.Encouraging intermediate clinical results for second ...

Conversion of Ankle Fusions to Ankle Replacements [PDF]
Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Ankle arthrodesis remains a prominent treatment choice for ankle arthritis in a majority of patients. Long term studies have shown a compensatory development of ipsilateral adjacent joint arthritis after ankle arthrodesis, and some patients who receive an ankle arthrodesis develop pain in surrounding ...

Are joint torque models limited by an assumption of monoarticularity? [PDF]
This study determines whether maximal voluntary ankle plantar flexor torque could be more accurately represented using a torque generator that is a function of both knee and ankle kinematics.

Validation of ankle strength measurements by means of a hand-held dynamometer in adult healthy subjects [PDF]
Uniaxial Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD) is a low-cost device widely adopted in clinical practice to measure muscle force. HHD measurements depend on operator’s ability and joint movements.

Influence of minimalist footwear on knee and ankle loads during the squash lunge [PDF]
Squash is associated with a high incidence of knee and ankle joint injuries. The aim of this work was to examine the effects of squash specific, running shoes and minimalist footwear on knee and ankle loads during the lunge movement in squash players ...

In this case study we report a fracture of the lateral process of the talus (LPF) in a snowboarder. The fracture is frequently overlooked initially, due to subtle clinical and radiological findings and a low incidence rate. However, LPF are associated with significant morbidity when missed.

The Association of Dorsiflexion Flexibility on Knee Kinematics and Kinetics during a Drop Vertical Jump in Healthy Female Athletes [PDF]
Purpose While previous studies have examined the association between ankle dorsiflexion flexibility and deleterious landing postures, it is not currently known how landing kinetics are influenced by ankle dorsiflexion flexibility.

Vertical stiffness asymmetries during drop jumping are related to ankle stiffness asymmetries [PDF]
Asymmetry in vertical stiffness has been associated with increased injury incidence and impaired performance. The determinants of vertical stiffness asymmetry have not been previously investigated.

Whereas the acuity of the position sense at the ankle can be disturbed by muscle fatigue, it recently also has been shown to be improved, under normal ankle neuromuscular state, through the use of an artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback.
