New from Dr. Donovan and colleagues: Destabilization devices during rehabilitation may influence sensorimotor organization in patients with CAI.

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is associated with kinematic changes in the lower extremity. Alterations in joint-coupling have been identified during gait in patients with CAI. Rehabilitation remains the gold-standard for clinical treatment of CAI but little is known on the effects of rehabilitatio...

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and as a response, clinicians often use external ankle taping prophylactically to reduce the prevalence of injuries. External ankle taping techniques have been shown to significantly reduce passive ankle range of motion;...
