Validation of surgical reduction criteria after syndesmosis injuries via/using instrumented 3D movement analysis

Project No. FF-FR 0300

Status:

ongoing

Aims:

Treatment outcome improvement for patients with syndesmosis injuries. Might postulated intra-operative reduction criteria enhance the functional outcome of syndesmosis injuries?

Activities/Methods:

Experimental, functional analysis of kinematic and kinetic parameters of the ankle using following methods:

  • 3D gait analysis
  • 3D analysis of various functional tests: (single-leg) squat, y-balance test, side-hop test
  • Olerud and Molander Scoring System
  • Passive Range of Motion of the ankle
  • Muscle function test at the ankle
