Background There is still uncertainty concerning the beneficial effects of shoe collar height
for ankle sprain prevention and very few data are available in the literature regarding the …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of landing on a combined
inversion and plantarflexion surface on the ankle kinematics and electromyographic (EMG) …

Context: Identifying the foot positions that are vulnerable to lateral ankle sprains is important
for injury prevention. The effects of foot position in the transverse plane on ankle …

The Objective of the study is to investigate the effects of basketball shoes with different collar
heights on ankle kinematics and kinetics and athletic performance in different sagittal plane …

Objective: To determine the differences in the rate and amount of ankle inversion in subjects
wearing high-top and low-top shoes. Design and Setting: Subjects were filmed at 60 Hz …

Ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains. However, kinematic assessments
investigating the biomechanical effects of ankle taping have provided inconclusive results …

Objectives To systematically review the literature on the effects of ankle supports on lower
extremity biomechanics during functional tasks. Design Systematic review with meta …

Background: Wearing high heel shoes is thought to increase an individual's likelihood of
experiencing a lateral ankle sprain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence …

Purpose The risk of recurrent ankle sprains could be reduced if the ankle joint is positioned
in a more closed pack position (eversion and dorsiflexion) with enhanced co-activation of …

Study Design Single-group repeated-measures experimental design. Objectives The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prophylactic ankle stabilization on vertical …
