Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The loss of the ankle proprioception is an important reason for ankle sprain. But there is no standard in the measurement methods of the ankle proprioception.
OBJECTIVE: To review the measurement methods of the ankle proprioception.
METHODS: This study was retrived by the author with the key words of “joint position sense, muscle force sense; balance capacity; proprioception; ankle joint” in English and “proprioception; balance capacity; ankle joint” in Chinese from PubMed databaseand VIP database. Articles related with the measurement methods of ankle proprioception were included. The duplicated articles were excluded. A total of 53 articles, 2 in Chinese and 51 in English, were included in the final analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There are such measurement methods of proprioception, as joint position sense, muscle force sense, threshold to detect passive motion, joint movement sense, balance measurement. The selection of measurement methods of the ankle proprioception should be based on actual needs.
