Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study examined alterations in ankle eversion/inversion strength and postural control in chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). METHODS: Twenty-three CLAI patients and 14 matched controls underwent isokinetic strength testing at 30°/s, 60°/s, and 90°/s (peak torque/body weight: PT/BW). Postural control was assessed via center-of-pressure (COP) trajectory length and peripheral area during eyes-open and eyes-closed single-leg stance. RESULTS: ] (p
