About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Chronic Ankle Instability and Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

chronic ankle instability previously approved in many studies that it may lead to more proximal adaptations and negative long term consequences. one of those studies reported, ankle instability patients has hamstring muscle shortening in comparison with non sprained subjects. another one concluded that gluteus maximums muscle has delayed activation and weakness in CAI patients. Both muscles (hamstring and gluteus Maximus ) contribute to sacroiliac joint stability. therefore, this study asked a novel research question, was sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) associated with CAI?

Read the detailed description

The sample size of this study had been calculated based on the primary outcome that was the association between CAI and SIJD after a pilot study done in order to detect odd's ratio. , calculation made by a program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with the following inputting data :

Two-sided confidence interval 95%, power 80%, ratio of controls to cases 1, percent of control exposed 4.5% , odds ratio 32%. The sample size calculations required for this study was 28 participants (14 in each group).

Data distributions was checked for normality using Shapiro-Wilk test and for equality of variance using Box's test. Box and whiskers plots were used for detecting the outliers. Descriptive statistics calculated for demographic data. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and standard errors of measurement (SEM) were calculated to estimate the intratester reliability and precision of measurement for the static pelvic rotation

The outcomes of these study were:

  1. Association between CAI and SIJD represents through odd's ratio (primary outcome)
  2. Pelvic torsion difference between CAI and control Calculated by Mann- Whitney test (secondary outcome)
  3. Correlations between pelvic torsion with perceived ankle instability and number of giving way episodes calculated Pearson correlation coefficient(secondary outcome) Effect size analysis was calculated to determine the clinical significant difference. Statistical analysis was conducted using the statistical package for social studies (SPSS) for windows, version 24 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). The normative data presented as Mean ± standard deviation (SD) while non-normative data presented as median. Significance was set at p < 0.05 and total study power was set 80%

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT04555083
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CAI groupCase group is CAI group that recruit patients complain of ankle insatiability and giving way mainly
control groupcontrol group recruits participants with non injured ankle, matched with case group in gender and dominant limb

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. odd's ratio of sacroiliac joint dysfunction

    association between CAI and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

    Measured: throughout the study about 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. difference of pelvic torsion between CAI and control

    pelvic torsion is pelvic asymmetry in sagittal plane

    Measured: throughout the study about 1 year

  2. correlation between pelvic torsion and giving way episodes

    giving way episodes throughout the previous year and pelvic torsion by inclinometer

    Measured: throughout the study about one year

  3. corelation between pelvic torsion and perceived sensation of instability

    pelvic torsion by inclinometer and perceived instability sensation through visual analogue scale, ranged from 0-10 with high score means worse result

    Measured: throughout the study about 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

odd's ratio of sacroiliac joint dysfunction (time frame: throughout the study about 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
