Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we evaluated the relationship between the limited dorsiflexion range of motion due to pain and the position of the talus. We investigated whether an anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) tear affected ankle dorsiflexion.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We reviewed 36 medical records and MRI images of outpatients diagnosed with a lateral ankle sprain. The data recorded were weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT), talus alignment, and ATFL tear. Weight-bearing lunge test differences (WBLTD) between the affected and unaffected sides were calculated. Talus alignment was defined on MRI as the extent of anterior displacement from the posterior lip of the tibia to the nearest articular surface of the talus (distance). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationships between WBLTD and distance.

The intervention group watched a VR video depicting various aspects of cesarean delivery, while the control group received no intervention and was instructed to consult their doctors or medical centers for information.

The rate of at risk of eating disorders varies between 20.4% and 38%. Sociocultural factors, age, sex, academic attainment, marital status, family income, smoking, nutritional status, anxiety, depression, internet addiction, high religious practice, previous cosmetic surgery, and binge drinking were associated with eating disorder risk.
