| Summary: | Objective: A review of current knowledge of the clinical
presentation of lateral ligament injury is presented. As a
result of inconsistences in reported finding, controversy
exists regarding the effectiveness of neuromuscular
training exercises for improving functional performance
and neuromuscular control. Thus, it’s practical benefit in
sports training remains inconclusive. Hence, our objective
was to evaluate the effectiveness of training interventions
in enhancing neuromuscular control and functional
performance in the existing literatures.
Data sources: The primary search was conducted of the
electronic databases search in Cochrane Bone, Joint and
Muscle Trauma Group Register and Cochrane Controlled
Trials Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro (Physiotherapy
Evidence Data- base), CINHAL, and SCOPUS;
Conclusions: There is some agreement among authors
with regard to the risk factors for ankle ligament injuries.
However, considerable controversies remain on the
degree of rehabilitation and enhancement of
performance thereafter. However, the literature is
available with regard to the height, weight, limb
dominance, ankle-joint laxity, anatomical alignment,
muscle strength, muscle-reaction time, and postural sway
which are considered as major risk factors for lateral ankle
ligament injuries. Future research is needed on this topic
to develop a consensus on all ankle-injury risk factors.
This present review will be redesigning the further
intervention studies to reduce the incidences and severity
of this common injury. The balance training can be
effective in improving the r postural and neuromuscular
control. However, as a result of varieties in methodology
and training differences, a further research on balance
training may be recommended. |
