Prognostic Values of Clinical and Anthropometric Characteristics in Lateral Ankle Sprain Following Physiotherapy.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery 2024 April 18
Lateral Ankle Sprain (LAS) is a common injury in sports and daily activities. The present study aimed to determine the prognostic value of clinical and anthropometric parameters in predicting LAS recovery after physiotherapy. Twenty seven patients with acute LAS were included in this cohort study. First, prognostic factors and anthropometric variables were assessed, along with the time elapsed since the injury, pain score on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), navicular drop, ankle Range of Motion (ROM), and ambulation status. Second, patients received physiotherapy, and their recovery status was assessed using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaire immediately (first evaluation) and one month after physiotherapy (second evaluation). Univariate regression analysis and stepwise regression were used to evaluate the association between prognostic factors and outcome predictability. The results of this paper have shown that ambulation status was significantly correlated with all FAOS subscales in both the first and second evaluations, except for the FAOS-Symptoms (FAOS-Sx) and FAOS-Quality of Life (FAOS-QOL) subscales in the first evaluation. The eversion ROM was significantly correlated with the FAOS-Sx and FAOS-Sports and Recreational activities (FAOS-Sport/Rec) subscales in the first evaluation. Additionally, age, height, and VAS were significantly correlated with FAOS-Activity of Daily Living (FAOS-ADL) in the first evaluation, so this means that ambulation status is a valuable predictor of treatment success immediately and one month after physiotherapy intervention and compared to other FAOS subscales, the FAOS-QOL subscale is a more reliable predictor of the effectiveness of physiotherapy.
