Relationship Between Ankle Planterflexors Peak Torque and Balance in Patients With Functional Ankle Instability

Egypt38 participantsStarted 2024-05-24

Plain-language summary

This study attempted to: 1. Investigate the difference in calf muscle strength (concentric and eccentric) between affected limb with instability and non-affected limb. 2. Assess the relationship between the severity of ankle instability and calf muscle strength (concentric and eccentric) at velocity (60 and 120◦/s) in patients with functional ankle instability? 3. Investigate the relationship between calf muscle strength (concentric and eccentric) deficit and functional performance in functional ankle instability.
