Abstract

Context: Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have deficits in postural control. Previous studies assessing postural control have been limited by minimal environmental perturbations. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of virtual reality (VR)-based perturbation on static postural control among CAI individuals, copers, and healthy controls.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 60 participants (20 individuals with CAI, 20 copers, and 20 healthy controls) performed 3 trials of a single-leg stance for 10 seconds with eyes open and eyes closed (EC) and VR. Static postural control was analyzed by 2-way analysis of variance.

Results: CAI individuals showed worse static postural control in the center of the pressure mediolateral range and ellipse area under VR than copers and healthy controls. Copers showed better static postural control in the center of pressure mediolateral range and in the ellipse area under VR and EC than individuals with CAI and healthy controls. Both VR and EC resulted in worse static postural control than eyes open across the 3 groups. However, there were no differences in static postural control between VR and EC within each group. CAI individuals demonstrated worse static postural control under VR than copers and healthy controls, whereas copers exhibited better postural stability under VR than CAI individuals and healthy controls.

Conclusions: VR may serve as a means for understanding differences in postural control mechanisms in individuals with CAI and copers.

基于虚拟现实的慢性踝关节不稳定、应对和控制个体的静态姿势控制评估。

背景：患有慢性踝关节不稳定（CAI）的个体在姿势控制方面存在缺陷。先前评估姿势控制的研究受到最小环境扰动的限制。本研究的目的是确定基于虚拟现实（VR）的扰动对CAI个体、患者和健康对照组的静态姿势控制的影响。设计：横断面研究。方法：共60名受试者（20名CAI患者，20名正常对照者和20名健康对照者）进行3次单腿站立10秒睁眼闭眼（EC）和VR试验。静态体位对照采用双向方差分析。结果：虚拟现实下CAI个体在压力中外侧范围中心和椭圆区域的静态姿势控制较对照组和健康对照组差。与CAI组和健康对照组相比，VR和EC组患者在压力中心、中外侧范围和椭圆区表现出更好的静态姿势控制。在三组中，VR和EC组的静态姿势控制都比睁眼组差。然而，在每组内，VR和EC之间的静态姿势控制没有差异。虚拟现实条件下，CAI个体的静态姿势控制能力差于对照组和健康对照组，而对照组的姿势稳定性好于CAI个体和健康对照组。结论：虚拟现实可以作为理解CAI和copers个体的姿势控制机制差异的手段。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (JSR) is your source for the latest peer-reviewed research in the field of sport rehabilitation. All members of the sports-medicine team will benefit from the wealth of important information in each issue. JSR is completely devoted to the rehabilitation of sport and exercise injuries, regardless of the age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status of the participant. JSR publishes peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, critically appraised topics (CATs), case studies/series, and technical reports that directly affect the management and rehabilitation of injuries incurred during sport-related activities, irrespective of the individual’s age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status. The journal is intended to provide an international, multidisciplinary forum to serve the needs of all members of the sports medicine team, including athletic trainers/therapists, sport physical therapists/physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, and other health care and medical professionals.
