▼ INTRODUCTION: Research into the treatment of acute lateral ankle sprains with individuals currently suffering from an acute injury, rather than a history of injury, is sparse. These acute injuries have psychological effects (e.g. confidence in one's readiness to return to play, changes to one's mood, adherence to the rehabilitation) to the individual that must be recognized as they have the potential to affect the rehabilitation process as much as the physical effects. In spite of previous research into the treatment of acute lateral ankle sprains the rate of recurrent injury remains high. With these recurrent ankle sprains comes the development of chronic ankle instability. Chronic ankle instability has mechanical and perceived components which factor into the extent of the condition. Individuals with long term chronic ankle instability may suffer from continued pain as well as decreased participation in physical activity and are at risk to develop early onset ankle osteoarthritis. The implementation of active video gaming within the rehabilitation environment has become popular in spite of the lack of empirical studies evaluating its effectiveness. Few studies have evaluated the use of active video gaming in a musculoskeletal context, with even fewer evaluating both the physical and psychological effects of such a modality. PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this study was to describe the functional, select psychosocial and patient-oriented outcomes of a rehabilitation program including active video gaming and a traditional rehabilitation protocol in the treatment of patients with acute lateral ankle sprains. The secondary purpose of this study was to compare and describe the functional, psychosocial, and patient-oriented outcomes of a rehabilitation program including active video gaming and a traditional rehabilitation protocol in the treatment of patients with chronic ankle instability. METHODS: Two collegiate student-athletes with acute lateral ankle sprains and 20 individuals with chronic ankle instability were recruited for the current study. Participants were randomly assigned to a traditional treatment protocol or a treatment protocol using active video games with the Xbox Kinect^TM during the balance training portion of their rehabilitation. Participants' static and dynamic stability, confidence in their readiness to return to play, mood states, adherence to the rehabilitation, and self-reported ankle function were recorded at multiple points during the rehabilitation. RESULTS: The acute active video gaming participant showed consistently better mood states during the balance training protocol than did the traditional participant while both showed similar improvements in balance. In the chronic condition similar improvements were seen in balance ability, confidence in their readiness to return to play, adherence to the rehabilitation, and self-reported ankle function. CONCLUSIONS: The use of active video gaming in the rehabilitation of acute lateral ankle sprains appears to have a positive effect… Advisors/Committee Members: Jennifer Earl-Boehm.

▼ Transfemoral amputees suffer the loss of the knee and ankle joints, as well as partial or complete loss of many of the lower extremity muscle groups involved in ambulation. Recent advances in lower limb prostheses have involved the design of active, powered prosthetic knee and ankle-foot components capable of generating knee and ankle torques similar to that of normal gait. The associated onboard motors, conditioning/processing, and battery units of these active components result in increased mass of the respective prosthesis. While not an issue during stance, this increased mass of the prosthesis affects swing. The goal of this study is to develop and validate mathematical models of the transfemoral residual limb and prosthesis, expand these models to include an active ankle-foot, and investigate counter-mass magnitude(s) and location(s) via model optimization that might improve kinematic symmetry during swing. Single- (thigh only, shank only) and multi-segment (combined thigh and shank) optimization of counter-mass magnitudes and locations indicated that a 2.0 kg counter-mass added 8 cm distal and 10 cm posterior to the distal end of knee unit within the shank segment approximated knee kinematics of able-bodied subjects. This location, however, induced artificial hip torques that reduced hip flexion during swing. While such a counter-mass location and magnitude demonstrated theoretical potential, this location is not clinically realistic; mass can only be added within the prosthesis, distal to the residual limb. Clinically realistic counter-masses must also keep the total prosthetic mass to less than 5 kg; greater mass requires supplemental prosthetic suspension, would likely increase energy expenditure during ambulation, and contribute to increased likelihood of fatigue even with active prosthetic components. The ability to simulate the effects of active prosthetic components inclusive of varying placement of battery and signal conditioning units may advance the design of active prostheses that will minimize kinematic asymmetry and result in greater patient acceptance.
