Brief summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate post-operatively the postural control through the Delos system with the Riva method of patients already treated surgically of external capsulo-ligament reconstruction due to ankle instability.
Detailed description
The patients will then be divided into two control groups: one group will undergo reconditioning through the Delos system and one group will undergo standard rehabilitation treatment. Primary outcome: improvement of joint stability and postoperative proprioception after reconditioning with the Delos system. Secondary outcomes: improvement of performance indicators and reduction of disability and satisfaction and assessment of long-term ankle stability after reconditioning with Delos system.
Interventions
DEVICEDelos instrument (computerized balance board)
Proprioceptive training using Delos instrument (computerized balance board). Static and dynamic evaluation through Delos with the Riva method; Physiatric visit; Clinical scores (AOFAs); Functional scores (SPPB); SF12 satisfaction.
