Background: Do have patients with a bi-or trimalleolar ankle joint injury in comparison to a healthy, active, equally aged subject group concerning functional resources? With advancing age, the number of bone fracture increases, especially of the ankle joint and in particular for elder women. The operative treatment is effective. The subsequent rehabilitation is satisfying as well. Nevertheless, there is no functional comparison to healthy people of the same age so far. Study Design: prospective controlled cross-sectional study Methods: Inclusion of 17 patients with bi-or trimalleolar ankle joint injury (mean: one and a half year post-surgery) und 23 healthy, active, equally old probands (fitness studio); measuring devices: motoric test procedures and questionnaire Results: three observation areas (OA) • OA I: no significant difference between the injured and intact ankle side within the patient group concerning the static balance and the strength endurance, measured at the functional press; only the strength endurance measured at the rope pull device shows a significant difference of the power • OA II: comparison patients and probands-static balance: patients < probands (p >.05)-strength endurance: patients < probands (p <.002)-life quality-mental health: patients < probands (p >.05)-life quality-physical health: patients < probands (p=.039) • OA III: patients are in the values of SF36`SF36`direct sum scores round about in the standards`standards`range, probands even above

Objective: Do patients with bi- or trimalleolar ankle injury show differences in motor skills and safety in comparison with healthy, active, age-matched control subjects? Study design: Prospective controlled cross-sectional study. Methods: Inclusion of 17 patients with bi- or trimalleolar ankle injury (mean 1.5 years postsurgery) and 23 healthy, active subjects of comparable age (fitness studio). Measurement instruments: motor test procedures and questionnaires. Results: Comparison of patients and control subjects by routine daily motor function: patients < controls with the "timed 'Up & Go' test" (TUG, p = 0.011), the chair rising test and a coordination test using a gymnastic hoop (CRT and GR p > 0.05), fear of falling: patients > controls (p = 0.003) and physical activity: patients < controls (p = 0.032). Conclusion: There were no significant motor deficits in activities of daily life between the patients and controls, only tendencies; however, the patients showed definite limitations with an increased fear of falling and a reduced physical activity compared with the healthy control group. The resulting differences should be positively influenced by appropriate enhancement of training or participation in sports courses. The aim is to achieve a similar quality of life by a perception of safety and trust in one's own motor skills.
