Ankle inversion ligamentous sprain is one of the most common sports injuries. The most
direct way is to investigate real injury incidents, but it is unethical and impossible to replicate …

Subtalar instability remains an uncertain (controversial) topic in orthopaedics. The clinical
presentation of subtalar instability is often vague. Given the clinical and radiographic overlap …

A musculoskeletal (MSK) model is a valuable tool for assessing complex biomechanical
problems, estimating joint torques during motion, optimizing motion in sports, and designing …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine effects of a sport version of a semi-rigid
ankle brace (Element™) and a soft ankle brace (ASO) on ankle biomechanics and ground …

Background As in vivo tibiotalar and subtalar joint kinematics are not currently known
following the application of an ankle brace, an investigation of these kinematics may provide …

Context: Various designs of braces including hinged and nonhinged models are used to
provide external support of the ankle. Hinged ankle braces supposedly allow almost free …

Subtalar joint instability is hypothesized to occur after injuries to the calcaneofibular ligament
(CFL) in isolation or in combination with the cervical and the talocalcaneal interosseous …

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) …

Introduction Ankle sprains are common injuries within the civilian and military populations,
with lingering symptoms that include pain, swelling, giving-way, and a high likelihood for …

Multiple playing surfaces and footwear used in American football warrant a better
