Abstract des Autors
The mechanical stabilizing effect of nine different orthotic devices on physiological and pathological plantar flexion/dorsal extension and horizontal rotation of the ankle joint subjected to artificial lateral ligament lesions was investigated in 20 cadaveric ankle joints under standardized conditions using an experimental apparatus. All of the braces tested significantly reduced plantar flexion/dorsal extension, as well as internal/external/external horizontal rotation, under the experimental conditions. In so far as these results can be transposed into a clinical setting, our data favour that bracing significantly reduces the instability. But, other criteria, such as the stabilizing effect on talar tilt and anterior drawer sign, the price and the convenience of wearing such devices have to be taken into consideration when choosing the optimal brace.
