Abstract
- The article discusses a study aimed at evaluating individuals with bilateral and unilateral ankle instability (AI), those with a history of sprains without AI and uninjured controls in terms of open- and closed-loop neuromuscular control. A kinematic and EMG analysis of a landing on specially designed supinating platform was performed on subjects who did a total of 22 drop landings on both limbs. The findings indicate that the subjects behaved in a protective fashion due to the potential risk injury associated with forced supination.
