Clinical movement assessments do not differ between collegiate athletes with and without chronic ankle instability.
Physical Therapy in Sport 2019 March
OBJECTIVES: To determine if overall Landing Error Scoring System-17 (LESS-17) and Fusionetics scores differ between collegiate athletes with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). We also aimed to determine if the rate of specific movement errors during the LESS-17 and Fusionetics differed between the groups.
DESIGN: Case-Control.
SETTING: Clinical Sports Medicine Facility.
PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-nine athletes from six Division I NCAA sports were eligible for the investigation. Forty-nine of those participants were classified as having CAI and fifty were classified as uninjured controls.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: An overall Lower Extremity Fusionetics score and individual task scores were calculated based on movement errors made during a double limb, double-limb with heel lift, and single limb squat. A LESS-17 score was calculated based on movement errors made during a 30 cm drop jump.
RESULTS: No differences were found between groups for the LESS-17 (p = 0.51), overall Lower Extremity Fusionetics (p = 0.49), and individual Fusionetics tasks (p > 0.36). More individuals with CAI made an uncontrolled trunk movement during a single-limb squat than uninjured controls (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Overall movement quality, as assessed by the LESS-17 and Fusionetics, did not differ between collegiate athletes with and without CAI. The rate of making specific movement errors also did not differ between groups.
