Static and dynamic postural control of the ankle during the performance of the ...
Ferreira, DianaIntroduction: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and it is estimated that up to 40% of acute ankle sprains can end up developing Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI). Literature shows that individuals with CAI have a higher probability of having both static and dynamic postural control deficits. Although, there is a lack of consistency in the studies detecting postural cont...
