Predicting Manual Therapy Treatment Success in Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability: Improving Self-Reported Function.

ABSTRACT:

Context

  Therapeutic modalities that stimulate sensory receptors around the foot-ankle complex improve chronic ankle instability (CAI)-associated impairments. However, not all patients have equal responses to these modalities. Identifying predictors of treatment success could improve clinician efficiency when treating patients with CAI.

Objective

  To conduct a response analysis on existing data to identify predictors of improved self-reported function in patients with CAI.

Design

  Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Setting

  Sports medicine research laboratories.

Patients or other participants

  Fifty-nine patients with CAI, which was defined in accordance with the International Ankle Consortium recommendations.
