Abstract
Introduction: Acute ankle sprains have a high recurrence rate associated with the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI). However, such damage can be ameliorated by understanding the contributing factors. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between the associated independent factors and chronic instability. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study included 273 volunteers (F/M: 175/98, mean age, 34.4 ± 13.2 years; range, 18–78). Data was collected by a structured two-part questionnaire: (1) sociodemographic features, viz. age, gender, height, weight, dominant side, type and duration of physical activity, presence of chronic medical problems, and (2) general health conditions, viz. history of operation and trauma, number of painful regions, intensity, duration, of foot and ankle). Subjects are classified as having CAI with a Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) score ≤ 27. Results: The mean CAIT score was significantly lower in women than men. For both sides, the lowest CAIT scores were demonstrated by subjects with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30.0 (p < 0.05). The total number of painful areas bila - terally, pain level, and CAIT score of the opposite ankle were determined as predictive factors of CAI (Right: R2 = 0.54

Advances in Rehabilitation is not only directed to representatives of biological and medical sciences, specialists from almost all fields of medicine, such as cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, traumatology and internal diseases, have been published in it. The journal contains papers concerning psychological, sociological, and occupational rehabilitation, along with articles which deal with organization and marketing. The journal is also dedicated to the ethical problems of rehabilitation. A significant part of the published papers have focused on the problems of sport and physical activity for people with disabilities
