Ankle Sprains, Motor Disorders
Conditions
Brief summary
Ankle sprains have always been considered as isolated injury entities, in which the passive ankle stabilisation system suffered an elongation due to trauma. Today, this concept of an isolated injury has evolved into a more holistic concept, interrelated with various components from different sources.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of motion | At the beginning and at 9 months | Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint |
| Musculature Strength | At the beginning and at 9 months | Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests |
| Presence of Myofascial trigger points | At the beginning and at 9 months | Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed. |
| Speed of contraction of the musculature | At the beginning and at 9 months | By means of the isokinetic tests and the aforementioned exploratory curves, the speed of contraction of the musculature of the back of the leg and foot will be evaluated |
