“The Executive Committee of the
International Ankle Consortium presents this 2016 position paper with
recommendations for information implementation and continued research based on
the paradigm that lateral ankle sprain (LAS), and the development of chronic
ankle instability (CAI), serve as a conduit to a significant global healthcare
burden.” The document was paired with an evidence review for the 2016 International Ankle Consortium Consensus
Statement.
