Abstract
Ankle sprains commonly occur in various indoor and outdoor sports, and if not handled properly, they can lead to more serious complications and worsen the injury. With the popularity of the internet, short videos have become an important way for people to obtain ankle-related knowledge. However, there is a lack of relevant research to evaluate the quality of these educational videos about ankle sprain.On the Douyin and Bilibili platforms, enter the keyword "ankle sprain" and collect data based on the number of likes and views after sorting.First, summarize the characteristics of the video and give an overall rating. Next, conduct a correlation analysis of video features, completeness, GQS, and DISCERN ratings. Finally, group the videos based on different short video platforms and uploader identities, and compare the quality of videos from different groups.Evaluate the completeness, quality and reliability of these educational videos, and perform statistical analysis on the data.This study analyzed 168 educational short videos related to ankle sprains from two platforms, Douyin and Bilibili. Overall, these videos had low scores in terms of completeness, quality, and reliability. Correlation analysis between video features and ratings revealed that there was not a strong relationship between them. When divided into two groups based on different platforms, the videos on Douyin had higher scores. Further analysis was conducted by dividing the uploaders into five groups, and it was found that videos uploaded by healthcare professionals (orthopedic and non-orthopedic physicians) had higher scores.The overall quality of short videos related to ankle sprains needs improvement. Short videos from Douyin uploaded by medical professionals(orthopedic and non-orthopedic physicians) deserve more attention from people.
