从五体理论探讨慢性踝关节不稳OA

Chronic ankle instability(CAI),also known as old ankle sprain,belongs to the category of"tendon injury disease"in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),which is often caused by untreated or mistreated acute ankle sprains.The disease and its complications usually lead to severe restriction of ankle movement and significant decline in quality of life.The five body constituents is the main frame of the body part in the theory of human structure in Huangdi's Internal Classic(Huangdi Neijing),which is closely related to the function of human movement.The pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of ankle instability involve the evolution of the pathogenesis of five body constituents in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Therefore,this paper attempts to investigate and elaborate the pathogenesis and treatment progress of CAI from the perspective of five body constituents theory.It has been found that under the guidance of the five body constituents theory,both TCM therapy and the combination of TCM and Western medicine therapy can produce good therapeutic effects on CAI.
