Background Ankle sprains remain prevalent across most team sports. However, despite
divergent ankle sprain injury rates in male and female athletes, little is known about potential …

Objective Strength training as a form of exercise therapy has long been used to maintain or
promote strength, but its effectiveness as a treatment intervention in chronic ankle instability …

Background: Prospective studies have reported that abnormal movement patterns at the
trunk, hip, and knee are associated with noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries …

Context: Deficits in ankle and hip strength and lower-extremity postural control are
associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Following strength training, muscle groups …

Context: Diminished hip-abductor strength has been suggested to increase the risk of
noncontact lateral ankle sprains. Objective: To determine prospectively whether baseline hip …

Although mild leg length discrepancy is related to lower limb injuries, there is no consensus
regarding its effects on the biomechanics of the lower limbs during gait. Biomechanical data …

Background: Previous studies have attempted to determine whether certain risk factors can
predict the occurrence of inversion ankle sprains in male collegiate soccer players …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease characterized by progressive
muscle weakness with increased neuromechanical challenge and fall risks, especially …

We describe feedforward neuromuscular control during a maximal jump landing/cutting task
among groups of chronic ankle instability (CAI), coper, and uninjured control subjects. Sixty …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of postural sway variability as a
