The Effect of a Specialized Yoga Intervention on Characteristics of Functional Ankle Instability
Ankle sprain is the most common injury to active individuals, constituting between 15% of all injuries in high school and collegiate sports. Approximately 40% of individuals experiencing an acute ankle sprain go on to develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI is characterized by perceived …

Impact of wearing a robotic exoskeleton on gait parameters and muscle activity in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
… flexion-extension, knee flexion-extension and ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion, and muscle activity of the lower extremities. Each participant performed walking under two conditions: with and without wearing the EKSO. RESULTS: There were significant differences between the two conditions in …

Comparison of Lower Extremity Propulsion Impulses between Recreational Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability and Healthy Athletes During Single Leg Hop Tests
… statistically compared to those with chronic ankle instability (CAI), during an anterior and a crossover SLHT, looking for differences, potentially leading to compensatory patterns. When comparing CAI to healthy participants there were no significant differences during the crossover SLHT. For …

A Comparison of Strength, ROM, Laxity, and Dynamic and Static Postural Control Between Those At-Risk and Healthy
… purposes of this study were to compare strength, ankle joint laxity, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DF-ROM), and static balance between individuals with poor and good performance on the Star Excursion Balance Test in the anterior reach direction (SEBT-A), as well as to identify what …

7-WEEKS OF YOGA TRAINING AND ITS EFFECTS ON FLEXIBILITY, RATE OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND JUMP HEIGHT IN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTERS
… development decreased while knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion increased. There was no significant interaction between the pre- and post-test and the condition. No significant difference was found between groups for any variable and effect sizes were all small or trivial. Yoga training does …

Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… with higher collar heights are worn to restrict ankle motion. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion has been associated with increased frontal plane knee motion. Volleyball players wear mid-cut shoes (MC) that have an increased collar height rising slightly superior to the talocrural joint and malleoli. The …

The Slippery Slope Between Falling And Recovering: An Examination Of Sensory And Somatic Factors Influencing Recovery After A Slip
… hip extension (OR = 1.006, CI: 1.00-1.01) and ankle dorsiflexion (OR = 1.005, CI: 1.00-1.01) moments increased the odds of falling. While the average ankle moment was negatively associated with falling (OR = 0.001, CI: 0.001-0.005). Cortical Contribution Results: Spectral power in the Piper …

Enhancing the Effectiveness and Availability of Orthoses by Additive Manufacturing
… people suffer from musculoskeletal conditions. Ankle inversion sprains are the most prevalent acute injuries, causing temporary mobility restrictions and long-term residual ankle symptoms. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are the primary intervention for treating and preventing recurrent sprains by …

Towards an improved understanding of the biomechanical implications and risk of injury of barefoot running
… barefoot trials. We found that an increase in ankle dorsiflexion is associated with an increase in initial loading rate when in the barefoot condition, supporting previous findings in this regard. We then performed a supervised, pure barefoot running training programme, over 8 weeks, to …
