Postural adjustment and muscle activity during each phase of gait initiation in chronic ankle instability: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gait initiation (GI) can be divided into three sections according to the center of pressure (COP) trace (S1, S2, and S3). Almost all studies do not separate each phase of the GI profile in postural control assessment and muscular investigation, whereas differences in the COP and muscles are found in each phase of the GI profile in people with gait problems.

Methods

Twenty individuals with CAI and twenty healthy controls were included in the present study. A force plate synchronized with Qualisys motion analysis, MEGAWIN electromyography, and a pair of auditory cues were used for data capture. The participants carried out five trials of GI with the affected leg (dominant leg). The peak and mean COP excursions; the mean and maximum velocities of COP excursion during
