Lower-Extremity Kinematics of Soccer Players with Chronic Ankle Instability during Running: A Case-Control Study

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics lower-extremity kinematics during running soccer players with chronic ankle instability (CAI) in comparison those without CAI. Twenty-two male college participated study. Twelve were assigned CAI group and ten non-CAI group, diagnosed according Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool. Kinematic data hip, knee, ankle, foot, ground reaction force components stance phase obtained using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. results revealed that who landed inversion other characteristic their lower extremity similar These show are not affected by presence or absence Future studies based on may contribute risk developing also help prevent lateral sprains.
