OBJECTIVE: Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) may experience ankle force sense deficits due to mechanoreceptor injury and proprioceptive deafferentation in the affected ankles. This study aimed to systematically review the literature and investigate (1) whether patients with CAI have impaired force sense when compared with uninjured contralateral sides or healthy controls, and (2) which characteristics of CAI (e.g., any measurement of CAI symptoms, clinical questionnaires, or functional tests on the injured ankles) are correlated with force sense deficits. TYPE: Systematic review and meta-analysis. LITERATURE SURVEY: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus were searched for ankle-related, injury-related, and force sense-related terms from inception to February 2, 2022. METHODOLOGY: The following information was extracted from included articles: demographic data, sample size, selection criteria, methodology, force reproduction test outcomes, and correlations between force sense and other characteristics of CAI. Meta-analyses were conducted for the force sense outcomes, and a narrative review was undertaken for the correlation between force sense deficits and other characteristics of CAI. SYNTHESIS: Eight studies were included. The meta-analyses revealed eversion force sense deficits of the injured ankles in absolute error (magnitude of force reproduction error) at 20% maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) (standard...
