Abstract

Background: This study aimed to compare two-point discrimination in feet with ankle sprains and feet without ankle problems, and to determine whether there was a change in the two-point discrimination values in ankle sprains.

Methods: A total of 108 people were included in the study. These subjects were aged between 18 and 40 years and visited the Medical Faculty of Yozgat Bozok University for various reasons in July and September of 2022. These people were divided into two groups: subjects with an ankle sprain and subjects with no ankle problems. Two-point discrimination values measured in millimeters were recorded for both groups using a caliper (esthesiometer) used in six regions of 216 feet. The two-point discrimination threshold values of the feet were compared statistically according to feet with ankle sprains and feet without ankle problems, and in right and left feet.

Results: The study determined that the two-point discrimination threshold values measured at the first toe tip, heel, third plantar metatarsal head, medial malleolus, and lateral malleolus in subjects with an ankle sprain was higher than in subjects with no ankle problems. When comparing both feet of the subjects with an ankle sprain, the two-point discrimination threshold value in the heel of the foot with an ankle sprain was higher than in the heel of the foot without ankle problems.

Conclusions: The two-point discrimination threshold value was higher in subjects with an ankle sprain than in subjects with no ankle problems. The data suggest that the two-point discrimination threshold may be higher in people with an ankle sprain. Further studies are needed to better understand the two-point discrimination threshold in ankle sprains.

踝关节扭伤患足的两点辨别能力

研究背景本研究旨在比较踝关节扭伤者和无踝关节问题者的两点辨别力，并确定踝关节扭伤者的两点辨别力值是否有变化：研究共纳入 108 人。这些受试者年龄在 18 岁至 40 岁之间，于 2022 年 7 月至 9 月间因各种原因前往约兹加特博佐克大学医学院就诊。这些人被分为两组：踝关节扭伤的受试者和没有踝关节问题的受试者。在 216 只脚的六个区域使用卡尺（ESTHESI计）记录两组受试者的两点辨别值（以毫米为单位）。根据踝关节扭伤的脚和没有踝关节问题的脚，以及右脚和左脚，对脚部的两点辨别阈值进行了统计比较：研究结果表明，踝关节扭伤受试者在第一趾尖、足跟、第三跖骨头、内侧踝骨和外侧踝骨处测量的两点辨别阈值高于没有踝关节问题的受试者。在比较踝关节扭伤受试者的双脚时，踝关节扭伤受试者脚跟的两点辨别阈值高于无踝关节问题受试者的脚跟：结论：有踝关节扭伤的受试者的两点辨别阈值高于没有踝关节问题的受试者。这些数据表明，踝关节扭伤患者的两点辨别阈值可能更高。要更好地了解踝关节扭伤患者的两点辨别阈值，还需要进一步的研究。
