Studies from Yonsei University Provide New Data on Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Medicine (Comparison of the Strength of the Ankle Evertor, Invertor, and Ratio at Different Ankle and Toe Positions Between Sides With and Without Chronic...).

A study conducted by Yonsei University in South Korea examined the muscle strength and ratio differences of ankle invertor and evertor muscles in Taekwondo athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The researchers found that ankle evertor strength significantly decreased in all ankle and toe positions on the CAI side. They concluded that ankle and toe positions should be considered when measuring invertor and evertor strength, and that ankle rehabilitation protocols should be developed for Taekwondo athletes with CAI. This information is important for athletes, trainers, and clinicians working with Taekwondo athletes. [Extracted from the article]
