Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, College of Health Sciences.
Our primary purpose in this study was to compare the effects of wearing the five-toed socks with grippers alone (FSG), regular socks alone (RS), both five-toed socks and an ankle brace (FSGB), and both regular socks and an ankle brace (RSB) on dynamic postural control as measured with Time to Stabilization Resultant Vector (RVTTS) after landing from a jump in chronic ankle instability (CAI) and matched control subjects. The secondary purpose was to compare the effects of wearing FSG, RS, FSGB, and RSB on subjective measures concerning comfort, stability, and confidence in preventing the ankle from a potential injurious situation during the jump-landing procedure in CAI and matched control subjects. Forty eight subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 years old were recruited from the university community, and the subjects were separated into those with (n=24) and without unilateral CAI (n=24). RVTTS and subjective measures were recorded with jump-landing procedure. There was no significant difference in any of the outcome measures in RVTTS. The result of the subjective measurement revealed that, the regardless of the sock conditions, wearing an ankle brace improves comfort, stability, and confidence during a jump-landing procedure among CAI subjects. Future study should determine how enhanced foot gripping and plantar tactile sensation provided by the FSG plays a role in dynamic postural control among CAI subjects.
