“…During gait, the proprioceptive signal is integrated in a phasic and context-specific manner to precisely control movements of the swing limb and appropriately move the center of mass using the supporting limb (Sorensen et al 2002;Pearson 2004). Consequently, impaired ankle proprioception has been associated with poor balance and falls in older persons (Lord et al 1991;Goble et al 2009Goble et al , 2011. Due to its critical role in standing and dynamic postural control, deterioration in ankle proprioception may also contribute to decline in global mobility and overall physical function.…”

Ankle proprioceptive information is integrated by the central nervous system to generate and modulate muscle contractions for maintaining standing balance. This study evaluated the association of ankle joint proprioception with objective and self-report measures of balance, mobility, and physical function across the adult life span. Seven hundred and ninety participants (age range 24-97 years, 362 women) who completed ankle proprioception assessment between 2010 and 2014 were included in the present study from the population-based cohort of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA), USA. Outcome measures included ankle joint proprioception measured as threshold for perception of passive movement (TPPM); single leg stance time; perceived difficulty for standing balance; usual, fastest, and narrow-path gait speed; walking index; short physical performance battery score; and self-reported activity restriction due to fear of falling. Descriptive variables included age, sex, body mass index, education, strength, and cognition. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) in general linear model (GLM) or multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed, as appropriate, to test the hypothesis that balance, mobility, and physical function were significantly different according to TPPM quintiles even after adjusting for relevant covariates. Those with TPPM >2.2°consistently demonstrated poor balance, mobility, and physical function. However, with increase in challenge (single leg stance, fastest walking speed, and SPPB), TPPM >1.4°was associated with significantly worse performance. In conclusion, ankle proprioceptive acuity has an overall graded relationship with objective and self-report measures of balance, mobility, and physical function. However, the cutoff proprioceptive acuity associated with substantial decline or inability to perform could depend on the challenge induced.

The soccer is one of the most popular sport modality around the world, with millions of practitioners of different levels, and thus, the incidence of injuries are expressive [1][2][3] . Among these injuries, the ankle sprain is the one that stands out 2, 4-5 .e ankle sprains are very common in soccer due to the demand of changes in direction performed with high velocities, after jumps and during the sprints itself 2,4,6 . ese rapid changes in direction or landing on irregular surfaces produces a large supination torque, causing the ankle to perform an excessive movement, overloading the joint and its structures, mainly the anterior talo-bular and the calcaneo-bular ligaments 7 .Repeated episodes of ankle sprains may negatively a ect the proprioception, which correspond to the perception of position and movement (i.e., synesthesia) of the body and its segments [8][9] . ese information are provided by mechanoreceptors in the muscles, tendons, skin, joint capsules and ligaments [10][11][12] .ese mechanoreceptors are sensitized by mechanics energy imposed to the joint and it is transmitted to the central nervous system by a erents impulses 13 . As a consequence to sprains, the a erent bers of the AbstractThe aim of the study was to compare the behavior of COP and passive ankle position sense in subjects with and without functional ankle instability. Took part in this study 20 subjects, divided into two groups: stable group (SG) and unstable group (UG). The COP evaluation was made with the single-leg balance test, with eyes opened and closed, on a force plate. The passive ankle position sense test was performed with subjects blindfolded. The ankle was positioned in a target angle (10° and 20°) and the dynamometer moved passively the ankle, then the subjects were instructed to push the stop button when they feel that the ankle was on the target angle, obtaining the absolute angular error (AAE). The following variables were obtained: total displacement (TD); antero-posterior (SDap) and medio-lateral standard deviation (SDml); total mean velocity (TMV); antero-posterior (MVap) and medio-lateral mean velocity (MVml). The comparison between the data with normal distribution was made with the Student's t test, while to the TD and SDml was used the Mann-Whitney test. The correlations were performed with the Pearson and Spearman tests. We adopted α < 0.05. We observed difference between AAE-10º (p < 0.05). Strong correlations were found between: AAE-10° and TMV (p < 0.01 r = -0.867); AAE-10° and MVap (p < 0.01 r = -0.854); AAE-10° and MVml (p < 0.01 r = -0.771), with eyes opened, and AAE-10° and TD (p < 0.05 r = -0.666); AAE-10º and SDap (p < 0.05 r = -0,685) and AAE-10° and MVml (p < 0.05 r= -0.766) with eyes closed. Ankle sprains harm the joint position sense without affecting the balance.

“…Os testes realizados no presente estudo indicam déficits proprioceptivos em idosos, déficits que são conhecidos como fatores predisponentes para o risco de quedas nessa população (GOBLE et al, 2009). Os testes empregados para quantificar os déficits proprioceptivos em idosos podem ser aplicados em estudos futuros para investigar os efeitos de programas de atividades físicas sobre a percepção de posição e força em idosos.…”

RESUMOO envelhecimento causa degeneração em sistemas orgânicos e pode comprometer a função proprioceptiva, que parece influenciar o equilíbrio e o controle postural. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar diferenças na propriocepção entre idosos e jovens. Quatorze idosos (idade = 66,3 ± 7,2 anos) e 15 jovens (idade = 23,9 ± 2,4 anos) foram submetidos a um teste de percepção de posicionamento segmentar (PPS) e a um teste de percepção do nível de força (PNF) exercida. Idosos apresentaram maior déficit proprioceptivo em reposicionamentos de membros superiores e inferiores a amplitudes maiores que 90° e em reproduções de baixa intensidade de força (20% e 30% 1RM) de músculos extensores do quadril e flexores do ombro. Os resultados indicam menor capacidade proprioceptiva em idosos na realização de movimentos de grande amplitude para membros superiores e de baixa amplitude para membros inferiores. Déficits na percepção e controle da força, embora em baixos níveis da contração isométrica máxima, foram encontrados em idosos. Palavras-chave:
