Decreased ankle and hip isometric peak torque in young and middle-aged adults with chronic ankle instability.

摘要: Abstract Objectives To compare ankle, knee and hip isometric peak torque between young middle-aged adults with CAI, copers un-injured controls. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Research Laboratory. Participants One hundred fifty-six or without CAI volunteered. Main outcome measures A handheld dynamometer measured dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, extension, extension abduction force during a 5 s trial. Average was calculated normalized to body mass. Results significant Age by Injury interaction for dorsiflexion suggest controls (p   0.05). Significant main effects the group had decreased plantarflexion (p = 0.004) (p = 0.010) strength compared controls, but not (p > 0.05). all primary were observed, indicating age Conclusions Regardless of age, ankle lower in participants copers. These findings provide further evidence towards impact both adults.
