Balance control improvement is one of the most important goals in sports and exercise.
Better balance is strongly positively associated with enhanced athletic performance and …

During multisensory integration, it has been proposed that the central nervous system (CNS)
assigns a weight to each sensory input through a process called sensory reweighting. The …

Proprioceptive information from the foot/ankle provides important information regarding body
sway for balance control, especially in situations where visual information is degraded or …

Context: Despite extensive research on chronic ankle instability, the findings regarding
proprioception have been conflicting and focused only on the injured limb. Also, the different …

Objectives: To determine whether proprioception or muscular strength is the dominant factor
in balance and joint stability and define what type of ankle rehabilitation is most effective for …

Laboratory study using a repeated measures design. The aim of this study was to determine
if ankle proprioception is targeted in exercises on unstable surfaces. Lateral ankle sprain …

Context: Postural control as assessed via time-to-boundary (TTB) measures has been
shown to be impaired in those with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Foot orthotics have been …

Exercises to improve joint proprioception and coordination of the functionally unstable ankle
are advocated throughout the literature, yet there is little evidence that these exercises have …

If ankle proprioception can be determined to be impaired, then treatment can be more
specifically directed toward correcting the proprioceptive deficit, thereby improving functional …

Proprioception and accompanying neuromuscular feedback mechanisms provide an
important component for the establishment and maintenance of functional joint stability …
