Especially patients with rheumatoid arthritis may already have subtalar degeneration when they present with ankle pain, making ankle arthrodesis a less appealing treatment.
The patients have to evaluate their present ankle function using five alternatives: "very good", "good", "fair", "poor" and "very poor".
The patients were asked to evaluate their present ankle function as 'very good' (score = 1), 'good' (score = 2), 'fair' (score = 3), 'poor' (score = 4) and 'very poor' (score = 5).
At the United States Military Academy, cadets presenting with ankle sprains during an 8-month period were included in this observational study.
The other subjects, favouring a proprioceptive body/floor angular coding, via the ankle, presented under microgravity no difficulty in maintaining horizontal forearm's orientation.
The right ankle presented an impaired active pronation.
Although loose dirt is easier on the legs than pavement, the trail presents the ankle-twisting hazards of rocks and bulging roots and fallen branches.

Response frequency for student attitudes toward instructional strategy for knee and ankle are presented in figure 2. Forty-one subjects from the combined knee and ankle multimedia groups participated in the survey, for a response rate of 82%.
To investigate whether patients undergoing inpatient or outpatient surgical procedures for ankle fracture presented with similar health profiles, bivariate analyses using the chi-squared test and Wilcoxon Mann Whitney test were performed to compare demographics, preoperative comorbidities, operative characteristics, and postoperative complications, as appropriate.
