Comparative analysis of sensory-motor function and its correlation with gait biomechanics in patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was to evaluate the correlation between postural stability, proprioception, tactile sensation, and gait biomechanics in young patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Methods

A total of 85 patients with CAI (80% females) and 51 healthy individuals (78% females) aged 18-35 years were recruited for this study. Standardized tests were used to assess bilateral sensory-motor function and gait biomechanics, to compare differences in sensory-motor function and gait biomechanics between groups, and to analyze the correlation between sensory-motor function and gait on the affected side of CAI patients. Postural stability was quantified by jump-landing test for stabilization time in the anterior-posterior direction; proprioception was quantified b
