Abstract:BackgroundStrength training interventions have long been a cornerstone of ankle injury rehabilitation, with greater emphasis on the eccentric (ECC) muscle actions necessary for coordinated ankle movements. Deficits in strength between involved and uninvolved ankles typically exist following an acute ankle sprain; while these same deficits have also been implicated as a contributing factor to the development and persistence of chronic ankle instability (CAI).ObjectiveTo compare ECC isokinetic ankle strength mea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
