چکیده انگلیسی
The purpose of this study was to examine ankle mobility in relation to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in HIV-positive persons with and without a history of injection drug use (IDU) and to examine the extent to which peripheral neuropathy further reduced ankle mobility. A cross-sectional, stratified design with quota sampling was used to recruit 27 persons with no history of IDU and 46 with a history of IDU from an infectious diseases clinic. Goniometric measurements of forefoot inversion-eversion and dorsiflexion-plantar flexion were obtained. CVI was assessed on a clinical scale. Peripheral neuropathy was identified from chart review and self-report. Injection drug users had less ankle flexion-extension right, inversion-eversion left and right, and total ankle motion than those who did not inject drugs (p < .05). Neuropathy was not associated with less mobility of the ankle joint (p < .01). A causal model supported the hypothesis of ankle mobility as a mediator of the effect of IDU on CVI.
