The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between strength of ankle plantar
and dorsal flexors and range of motion (RoM), and body sway variables during single-leg …

This study aimed to determine if there is a difference in postural stability in highly trained
adolescents and young adult athletes regarding sex and sport. The participants were young …

Background The role that the ankle's physiological characteristics play in maintaining
balance during quiet stance has been well documented. However, the role of the ankle in …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in standing balance during
dominant and nondominant one-legged stance among athletes of different sports and …

Background The single-limb stance with closed eyes has been widely used to evaluate
chronic ankle instability as static balance; however, there was lack of consideration of …

Background Diminished balance is associated with the incidence of ankle and lower
extremity injuries in adolescents. Although flexible flatfoot is a common foot condition in …

The effects of different factors—such as age, sex, performance level, and athletic shoe
features—on postural balance in athletes remain unclear. The main objective of our study is …

The effects of foot posture on postural stability and on muscular activation pattern for
postural control remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate postural stability and …

Background The role of the measurements of postural stability in the context of screening for
ankle sprain risk is still equivocal. Transient characteristics of body sway have been …

Ankle braces have been suggested to protect ankle joints from a sprain by restricting
inversion and improving proprioception. However, the difference in effects between a semi …
