Ankle joint orthoses are used for rehabilitation and/or prevention of ankle sprains. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Malleoloc ankle joint orthosis on active and passive range of motion reduction and on a jumping and a figure-eight running test. Twelve subjects with a history of inversion ankle sprain and documented increased anterior translation in a drawer test participated in the study. Active and passive range of motion for inversion was determined with and without the orthosis and pre- and post-exercise. Additionally, performance tests for figure-eight running and jumping were administered. The results showed that the tested orthosis 1) restricted the active range of motion and passive inversion substantially, 2) reduced the other movement degrees of freedom only minimally, 3) provided the same movement restriction before and after exercise, and 4) did not affect performance. The Malleoloc ankle joint orthoses can, therefore, restrict ankle joint motion without affecting performance negatively.
踝关节矫形器用于踝关节扭伤的康复和/或预防。本研究的目的是确定Malleoloc踝关节矫形器对主动和被动活动范围减少以及对跳跃和“8”字跑测试的影响。12名有内翻踝关节扭伤史且在抽屉试验中记录有前向平移增加的受试者参与了该研究。在佩戴和不佩戴矫形器的情况下以及运动前后测定内翻的主动和被动活动范围。此外，还进行了“8”字跑和跳跃的性能测试。结果表明，所测试的矫形器1）显著限制了主动活动范围和被动内翻，2）仅最小程度地减少了其他运动自由度，3）在运动前后提供相同的运动限制，4）不影响性能。因此，Malleoloc踝关节矫形器可以限制踝关节运动而不会对性能产生负面影响。
