Prelanding Movement Differences In Joint Kinematics In Chronic Ankle Instability With And Without Ankle Swelling
Abstract
Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) are one of the most common lower extremity injuries1 and develop into chronic ankle instability (CAI) up to 74% of the time.1 Approximately 40% of CAI individuals suffer from persistent swelling after lateral ankle sprains.2,3 Swelling results in an inability to contract at a normal level surrounding joint musculature.4 Athrogenicmuscle inhibition (AMI) plays a central role in altered neuromuscular control, which may result in altered neuromechanicsand increased susceptibility to joint injury.4
