     Abstract PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY IN COLLEGIATE ATHLETES: THE INTERNATIONAL ANKLE CONSORTIUM DIAGNOSED CRITERIA UDOMPANICH, N.1,2, HUNSAWONG, T.1,2, PHADUNGKIT, S.1,2, TIPSORN, W.2, SOPARAK, B.2, JAROONRAK, S.2 1: BNOJPH , 2: KKU INTRODUCTION: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a result of recurrent lateral ankle sprains (LAS) and thereby leading to an early onset of ankle osteoarthritis (Gribble et al., 2014). Over the last 2 decades, an inconclusive definition and diagnosed criteria of CAI was conducted in the previous study resulting in an inconsistent prevalence of CAI with a range from 23 to 58% among athletic populations (Tanen et al., 2014; Simon et al., 2014; Mehta et al., 2015). Therefore, in 2014, The International Ankle Consortium provided a standard minimum of diagnosed criteria for CAI (Gribble et al., 2014). However, there is a lack of study observed the prevalence of CAI under the current criteria and there is no report demonstrated whether the difference in diagnosed criteria affects the prevalence of CAI. Hence, the present study determined the point prevalence of CAI using the standard minimum of diagnosed criteria and compared the finding with the previous reports. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on collegiate athletes including soccer, running, volleyball, basketball and badminton players (mean age 21 ± 1.56 years). Participants completed a demographic data sheet, history of LAS and the Cumberland ankle instability tool (CAIT). Participants who met the following criteria including 1) had multiple LAS, 2) had the history of first LAS at least 12 months, 3) had the latest LAS at least 3 months, and 4) have a score < 24 on CAIT were diagnosed CAI (Gribble et al., 2014). One sample proportion test was used to compare the prevalence of CAI with the recruited previous reports. RESULTS: Among a hundred participants, 9 participants have developed CAI estimated as 9% prevalence from the total participants (95% CI: 3.29-14.7). The highest prevalence of CAI was found in running, volleyball and soccer players, respectively. However, CAI was not found in basketball and badminton players. There were 3 previous reports recruited for analysis (Tanen et al., 2014; Simon et al., 2014; Mehta et al., 2015). The prevalence of CAI in this study was significantly lower than that in all previous reports (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Regarding the diagnosed criteria among the studies, the present study used the standard minimum diagnosed criteria of The International Ankle Consortium. While the previous study (Simon et al., 2014; Mehta et al., 2015) applied only a questionnaire such as CAIT and Identification Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) for diagnosing CAI. The present findings suggest that the variation of diagnosed criteria among the studies affect the prevalence of CAI. Therefore, further study should apply the standard minimum of criteria for providing more consistent characteristics of CAI participants to enhance the strength of research in CAI population.
