Peroneal reaction time and ankle sprain risk in healthy adults: a critically appraised topic.
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries identified in athletics, the military, and hospital emergency rooms. A significant number of patients report injury recurrence, residual symptoms, ankle instability, and functional loss associated with a single acute sprain. Identifying modifiable risk factors for sustaining ankle sprains is essential to develop effective injury-prevention strat...
متن کاملEffects of the ankle angle of an ankle foot orthosis on foot pressure during the gait in healthy adults
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the ankle angle of an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) on foot pressure during the gait in healthy adults. [Subjects] Sixteen healthy males with neither orthopedic nor neurological problems participated in this study. [Methods] Subjects walked on a walkway at a self-selected pace with an AFO set at four different ankle angles (-5°, ...
متن کاملRepeatability of Ground Reaction Force during Jump-Landing in Volleyball Players with Functional Ankle Instability
Background and Aims: The accurate mechanisms of ankle instability cannot be assessed in the absence of reliable knowledge about ground reaction force (GRF) variables. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of GRF variables during forward and lateral jump-landing in volleyball players with functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods: Eighteen professional volle...
متن کاملMechanically induced ankle inversion during human walking and jumping.
A new method to study sudden ankle inversions during human walking and jumping is presented. Ankle inversions of 25 degrees were elicited using a box containing a trap door. During the gait task, subjects walked at a speed of 4 km/h. At a pre-programmed delay after left heel strike, an electromagnet released the box on the treadmill. This delay enabled the subject to step on the box without hav...
متن کاملAnkle musculature latency measurement to varing angles of sudden external oblique perturbation in normal functionally unstable ankles
Abstract Background: Several studies have examined the reflex response of ankle musculature to sudden inversion in noninjured and injured subjects. To date, there have been no studies to determine the effect of versatile degrees & conditions of perturbation on the ankle musculature latency. The purpose of this study was to measure and determine whether there was a difference in ankle musculatu...
