A dissertation presented in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, 2001. / The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative effectiveness of chiropractic manipulation alone compared to chiropractic manipulation in conjunction with gastrocnemius and soleus stretching in the treatment of subacute and chronic grade I and II ankle inversion sprains / M

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban Institute of Technology, 2005. / According to research, continuing symptoms of pain, instability, crepitus, weakness, stiffness (Pellow and Brantingham, 2001) and swelling (Patel and Warren, 1999:332) commonly follow an acute ankle sprain. The cause of these symptoms is often attributed to the development of a tight sensitive scar (Reid, 1992:251) within the injured ligament. The treatment options available include scar tissue debridement (Bassewitz and Shapiro, 1997), manipulation (Edmond, 1993:164), mobilization, (Hockenbury and Sammarco, 2001) and ultrasound (Thomson, Skinner & Piercy, 1991:43-44). Transverse friction massage could also be used to reduce adhesions (Kessler, 1990:85) and improve mobility of the tissues (Kessler, 1990:140). The Graston Technique Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (GTIASTM) comprises a set of stainless steel instruments (Carey 2003:2) designed to detect and reduce scar tissue and adhesions (Carey 2003:7) by bringing about an area of controlled microtrauma (Hammer, 2003(b):1) and inflammation (Carey 2003:32) through a mechanism similar to that of friction massage. / M

A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physiology, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of science in Medicine. / The management and prevention of ankle sprains had been a topic of controversy in the sport medical literature to date, with various rehabilitative and preventative protocols having been suggested. In part one of this study, a relatively new rehabilitative device, the Cybex II Dynamometer,was used to determine whether the rehabilitation period of ankle sprain injuries could be reduced in recently injured patients. In part two, the Cybex II Dynamometer was used in conjunction with other training techniques in a preventative trial of first league volleyball players, to see whether the incidence of ankle sprains (which is particularly high in this population group) could be reduced. Although the experimental group was discharged almost 35 percent sooner than the control group in part one, the difference was not found to be statistically significant. In part two the preventative measures resulted in a notable difference in the incidence of injuries (32 percent in the control group compared to 11 percent in the experimental, group). Differences were just not statistically significant (p=O.059). / Andrew Chakane 2018
