Balance problems can severely limit the quality of life for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) already in the early stages of the disease. PwMS are usually assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which includes a Romberg test for assessing balance. As the EDSS assessments are subjective to the examining neurologist, the postural stability of pwMS could be objectively quantified by implementing static posturography to detect balance problems and address preventive medical care

The ankle joint provides the connection between the lower leg and the foot. It transmits the weight
and the axially acting forces of the upper half of the body via the talus to the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot.
Stability and functionality are ensured by a complex interplay of bones, muscles and capsule/ligamentous apparatus.
ligamentous apparatus. The lateral capsule/ligamentous apparatus plays a particularly important role in the
ligamentous apparatus in interaction with the peroneal musculature. These structures are therefore at high risk of injury.
Acute external ligament injury is one of the most common injuries and thus a daily challenge for every surgeon.

chronicity in 20-40% of patients.
The consistent further development and establishment of new treatment paths is therefore imperative.

If the presence of symptomatic chronic upper ankle instability is clinically confirmed and
