Background: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a very common injury in the general population and in the world of basketball in particular, initially Its recurrence rate is very high, generating chronic ankle instability (CAI), accompanied by decreased muscle activation in the ankle musculature and lack of motor control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the activation of the peroneal musculature during the sports gestures of layup and free throw, and the motor control of both in healthy patients and in patients with CAI. Method: Using a surface electromyography study (sEMG) of 58 basketball players of amateur teams, 36 women and 22 men, with and without CAI, in the peroneus lateralis longus (PLL) and peroneus lateralis brevis musculature (PLB).
