Diagnostic evaluation of mechanical ankle instability by comparing injured and uninjured contralateral ankles using arthrometry

Diagnostic evaluation of mechanical ankle instability by comparing injured and uninjured contralateral ankles using arthrometry

Individuals with mechanical ankle instability (MAI) have obvious lateral ligament laxity and excessive ankle joint motion beyond the physiologic range. Arthrometry has been introduced to quantitatively measure the laxity of ankle joint. However, the diagnostic accuracy of arthrometers in diagnosing MAI is still debatable.
