Purpose: The correlations of postural stability with proprioception and strength may explain
the recurrent sprains among individuals with functional ankle instability (FAI). This study …

Background Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is attributed to functional instability driven by
insufficient proprioception. However, it is not clear whether the deficits are related to global …

Functional ankle instability (FAI) has been associated with impaired sensorimotor function;
however individual studies have produced conflicting results. In an attempt to reduce this …

Abstract Background About 15–60% of individuals with ankle sprains may develop
functional ankle instability (FAI), which is characterised by ankle pain, decreased muscle …

Background Chronic ankle instability is a frequent and serious consequence of lateral ankle
sprains. The contribution of perceived instability and potential for mechanical laxity to …

Study Design Case control study. Objectives To classify individuals with functional ankle
instability (FAI) into deficit and no-deficit categories based on the evaluation of the most …

Functional instability (FI) is a term used to describe the condition of recurrent sprains and/or
the feeling of giving way. It is believed that impaired proprioception and decreased postural …

BACKGROUND: It is important to establish the effective evaluation approaches that are
appropriate for measuring ankle proprioception. But, only a few studies used more than one …

Background Functional ankle instability (FAI) represents 40–75% of residual disability after
acute lateral ankle sprain. FAI has been associated with impaired muscle strength and …

Questions Is loss of proprioception or loss of motor control related to functional ankle
instability? Are proprioception and motor control related? Is there any difference in …
