Eccentric Peak Torque Analysis of Subjects Suffering from Chronic Ankle Instability

Eccentric Peak Torque Analysis of Subjects Suffering from Chronic Ankle Instability

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of chronic ankle instability (CAI) on eccentric peak torque of the ankle musculature. The study included fifty participants divided into two groups; the first group consisted of twenty five subjects suffering from CAI, the second group consisted of twenty five subjects with no prior history of ankle injury as control group. Eccentric peak torq...

The Eccentric Torque Production Capacity of the Ankle, Knee, and Hip Muscle Groups in Patients with Unilateral Chronic Ankle Instability

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate eccentric torque production capacity of the ankle, knee and hip muscle groups in patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) as compared to healthy matched controls. METHODS In this case-control study, 40 participants (20 with CAI and 20 controls) were recruited based on convenient non-probability sampling. The average peak torque ...

Eccentric plantar-flexor torque deficits in participants with functional ankle instability.

CONTEXT Inversion ankle sprains can lead to a chronic condition called functional ankle instability (FAI). Limited research has been reported regarding isokinetic measures for the plantar flexors and dorsiflexors of the ankle. OBJECTIVE To examine the isokinetic eccentric torque measures of the ankle musculature in participants with stable ankles and participants with functionally unstable an...

Lower limb landing biomechanics in subjects with chronic ankle instability.

PURPOSE The literature on lower limb kinematic deviations in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI) during landing tasks is limited and not consistent. Several studies only report joint angles at defined events rather than considering the whole kinematic curve, which might obscure possibly relevant information. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to evaluate landing kinematics of ...
