Abstract

This article reviewed the mechanism of functional ankle instability and the progress in the diagnosis and screening of functional ankle instability using self-reported measures. The subjects with functional ankle instability demonstrated deficits in ankle joint proprioception, muscle strength, peroneal reaction time and postural stability. The self-reported measures had been widely used as diagnostic and screening Methods . It is recommended to use Ankle Instability Instrument or Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool with investigation of ankle injury as selection criteria for patients with functional ankle instability.
