Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria for experimental group: 1. History of at least one significant ankle sprain; a. The initial ankle sprain had to have occurred before 1 year of study enrollment; b. Had a history of inflammatory symptoms (such as pain, swelling, etc.); c. Have led to the need of physical activity at least 1 day interrupt; d. The most recent ankle sprain had to have occurred before 3 months of enrollment. 2. Injury of ankle joint was ‘give way’, and/or ‘twisted’ repeatedly, and/or ‘feel unstable’. a. Participants must report at least 2 times of the ‘give way’ of the injuried ankle 6 months before the enrollment; b. Need to specially pointed out that self-reported ankle instability must use specially designed for ankle instability and validated to determine the scale, and use the relevant reference. Plans to use the self rating scale: Identification of Functional Ankle Instability. The score was > 11 points. Inclusion criteria for control group: 1. Age> 18 years old. 2. Able to walk normally and understand the test content. 3. Smooth speech. 4. Normal vision and hearing.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria for experimental group: 1.Any lower limb musculoskeletal system structure (such as bone and joint, nerve, etc.) had surgery; 2.The presence of any lower limb fracture requiring correction of the alignment; 3.In the three months before the other joints of lower limbs with acute injury of musculoskeletal structure, and affect the integrity and function of joints, such as sprains, fractures, etc.) and led to the suspension of the required physical activity for at least 1 day ; 4.There are no any special reasons except for sprain leading to ankle joint range of motion limitation of any side; 5.Presence of pes cavus caused by neuropathy; 6.Patients have cognitive impairment, are in the stage of mental illness, or are unable to cooperate with the completion of the experimental study; 7.Refusing to sign an informed consent form. Exclusion criteria for control group: 1. Have a history of repeated ankle sprains (>=3 times). 2. The musculoskeletal system structures (such as bones, joints, nerves, etc.) of any limb have undergone surgery. 3. Acute injury (such as sprain, fracture, etc.) to the musculoskeletal structure of other joints of the lower limb within the previous 3 months, resulting in the interruption of daily required physical activities for at least one day. 4. Any lower limb joint with deformity due to disease or trauma. 5. Accompanied by vestibular diseases, neurological diseases, color blindness, cognitive dysfunction. 6. Unwilling to sign informed consent.
