Ankle sprains (AS) are common in the military population, with a prevalence 5 to 8 times higher than that for civilians. The aim of this study was to evaluate in patients with severe AS the impact of disuse on thigh muscle induced by unloading and immobilization due to care. This study focused on muscle trophicity and dynamometric strength. In this observational prospective study, assessments were repeated at 3 visits: close to injury, 15 and 30 days following the sprain. The injured limb was compared to the contralateral limb. A dynamometer assessment was used to monitor changes in strength and fatigue of the thigh muscles of both limbs. Isometric and isokinetic concentric evaluation of peak torque (PTiso and PTdyn), total work (Wt), and peak torque time integral (IPT) of thigh muscles. Full follow-up was obtained in 30 subjects. The injured limbs showed significant deficits in the mean (SD). The quadriceps PTiso and IPT deficits were -12.6% ± 1.9% (P.0001) and -13.27% ± 1.8% (P.0001), respectively. The quadriceps PTdyn showed a significant deficit since V2 (-12.2.5% ± 2.0). The quadriceps Wt presented a significant deficit of -4.2% ± 2.4 (P.0007) at 1 month. The hamstring PTdyn deficit presented a mean loss of -16.5% ± 2.4% (P.0001). The hamstring Wt deficit was -13.7% ± 2.3% (P.001). The analysis of variance showed that the grade of the sprain had a significant effect on the quadriceps PTq deficit (P.016) but not the type of discharge. Our study showed that disuse leads to a significant deficit in the strength of knee muscles within 1 month. It is noteworthy that the hamstrings are more affected than the quadriceps. The rehabilitation protocol to prevent the risk of iterative ankle injuries and secondary knee injuries should incorporate early training of both quadriceps and hamstrings. |
