High Reproducibility of a Novel Fixed Anterior Drawer Test for Diagnosing Ankle Instability Audio Poster

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the Anterior Drawer Test (ADT), a physical examination used to evaluate ankle instability. The traditional ADT is subjective and lacks reproducibility, especially for less experienced clinicians. The video presents a study that aims to evaluate the usefulness of a modified ADT and compare its reproducibility and accuracy to the traditional ADT. Thirteen ankles with or without a history of ankle sprain were examined using stress radiography and manual ADT. The results showed that the modified ADT, called fixed ADT, had higher diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility compared to the traditional ADT. It is recommended as a preferred method for less experienced examiners.
