Does chronic ankle instability patients lead to changes in biomechanical parameters associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury during landing? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine if patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit biomechanical changes associated with the increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during landing tasks.

Study design

This study was conducted through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

Searches were conducted in May 2024 across five electronic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library.

Eligibility criteria

Studies were included if they (1) involved subjects with CAI and healthy controls and (2) assessed biomechanical variables such as ground reaction forces, joint angles, and joint torques.

Results

Of the 675 identified studies, 171 were included in the review, and 13 were eligible
