Abstract
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries, with approximately two million occurring in the United States annually.1 2 Some individuals who suffer from a lateral ankle sprain develop chronic ankle instability (CAI), in which the ankle ligaments have increasing laxity and the stability of the joint becomes compromised due to previous injury or injuries.2 CAI are often characterized as the ankle giving way, in which the ankle joint becomes unstable.3 It has been noted that poor sleep behavior (quantity and quality of sleep) can increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury as sleep is known to be an important aspect of injury recovery.4 However, the effect sleep behavior on those with CAI, who often suffer from recurrent ankle sprains and episodes of giving way and their influence on patient-reported outcomes, remains unclear. The result indicates those who suffered a giving way episode spent less time asleep, time in bed, minutes in REM, and minutes in light sleep. In addition, subjects with a worse self-perceived sleep quality at baseline were more likely to experience a giving way episode. Therefore, this study suggests that sleep may be affected after an episode of giving way in those with CAI.
