BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to examine objective and subjective differences between three severity groups of @entity1171 @entity1 compared to healthy controls. METHODS: This was a case-controlled study. 92 @entity1 with an @entity3681 of which 41 @entity1 were eligible to participate in the study. 72 healthy @entity1 served as controls. All @entity1 underwent a computerized gait test, completed self-assessment questionnaires (The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the SF-36), evaluated with the American Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) form and completed the 6-min walk test. The control group performed a computerized gait test and completed the SF-36 health survey. RESULTS: All @entity1171 @entity1 presented compromised gait patterns and limb symmetry compared to controls (p   <   0.05). @entity1171 @entity1 also had lower SF-36 scores compared to controls (p   <   0.05). Significant differences were found between the unimalleolar group compared to the bimalleolar and trimalleolar groups in most parameters, except for the FAOS scores. There were no significant differences between the @entity1171 group and the @entity1171 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although all @entity174 severity classification groups presented a compromised gait pattern and worse clinical symptoms compared to controls, it seems that @entity1 with a @entity174 is a different group compared to bimalleolar and @entity1171 . Furthermore, it seems that @entity1171 and @entity1171 affect the gait pattern and clinical symptoms to an equal extent, at least in the short-term. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01127776.
