The usefulness of tuning-fork-assisted vibration sensation as a proprioceptive measurement method in cases of acute anterior talofibular ligament rupture: A single-center study

Proprioceptive impairment due to acute ATFL rupture was associated with reduced vibration sensation at the rupture site. As proprioception improved, vibration sensation also recovered. Therefore, vibration measurement using a tuning fork may serve as a practical proprioceptive assessment tool and an adjunctive diagnostic method.
