Abstract des Autors
The stabilizing effect of external support, in the form of strapping, taping and nine different ankle braces, was tested in 220 functionally unstable ankles. A standard surface EMG, controlled-stress Roentgen test protocol was used, measuring talar tilt (TT) without support and with strapping, tape bandage, or brace. Different levels of TT restraint of external support could be identified. Taping and two braces had a highly significant (p<.001) influence on TT. The mean TT without support was decreased by using tape from 13.4ø to 4.9ø, by using one brace to 4.8ø, and by using another brace to 5.9ø. The two braces were effectively fitted for protection during functional treatment. A classification into three grades of effectiveness was proposed. It was concluded that the stabilizing influence of bandages and braces should be measured before these external supports are used to treat acute ankle sprain and protect against sprain injuries in daily living and sports.
