Chronic Postoperative Ankle Injury

How it works

Risks & contraindications

Highlighted claims

• A substantial minority of patients continue to have pain, stiffness, or functional impairment 6 to 12 months after ankle surgery. — Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical network modulation and functional recovery in patients with chronic ankle injury following surgery: study protocol for randomised controlled trial
• Postoperative immobilisation and delayed weight-bearing can cause muscle atrophy, adhesions, and stiffness. — Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical network modulation and functional recovery in patients with chronic ankle injury following surgery: study protocol for randomised controlled trial
• Delayed rehabilitation is described as a modifiable factor that may allow reversible impairments to become chronic deficits. — Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical network modulation and functional recovery in patients with chronic ankle injury following surgery: study protocol for randomised controlled trial
• Chronic postoperative ankle dysfunction may involve central sensorimotor and cortical network changes, not only local symptoms. — Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical network modulation and functional recovery in patients with chronic ankle injury following surgery: study protocol for randomised controlled trial
• Persistent abnormal sensory input from the injured ankle may contribute to cortical dysfunction and altered motor control. — Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical network modulation and functional recovery in patients with chronic ankle injury following surgery: study protocol for randomised controlled trial
