摘要: Background:Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have demonstrated altered neuromuscular function and decreased muscle strength when compared healthy counterparts without a history of sprain. Up to this point, volumes not been analyzed in patients CAI determine whether deficits size are present following recurrent sprain.Purpose:To analyze intrinsic extrinsic foot 4-way young adults CAI.Study Design:Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.Methods:Five (mean age, 23.0 ± 4 years; 1 male, females) 5 controls 23.8 4.5 volunteered for study. Novel fast-acquisition magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used scan from above the femoral condyles through ankle. The perimeter each outlined on axial slice then 2-dimensional area multiplied by thickness (5 mm) calcu...
