Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) frequently develops as a result of lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in delivery service workers (DSWs). Identifying risk factors for CAI is crucial for implementing targeted interventions. This study aimed to develop machine learning (ML) models for classifying CAI in DSWs with a history of LAS (DSWsLAS) and to identify key contributory factors.
