Characterization of Multiple Movement Strategies in Participants With Chronic Ankle Instability.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by multiple sensorimotor deficits, affecting strength, postural control, motion, and movement. Identifying specific deficits is the key to developing appropriate interventions for this patient population; however, multiple movement strategies within this population may limit the ability to identify specific movement deficits.

Objective

To identify specific movement strategies in a large sample of participants with CAI and to characterize each strategy relative to a sample of uninjured control participants.

Design

Descriptive laboratory study.

Setting

Biomechanics laboratory.

Patients or other participants

A total of 200 individuals with CAI (104 men, 96 women; age = 22.3 ± 2.2 years, height = 174.2
