Altered neuromuscular control and ankle joint kinematics during walking in subjects with functional instability of the ankle joint.

摘要: BackgroundThe ankle joint requires very precise neuromuscular control during the transition from terminal swing to early stance phase of gait cycle. Altered arthrokinematics and muscular activity have been cited as potential factors that may lead an inversion sprain aforementioned time periods. However, date, no study has investigated patterns muscle 3D kinematics simultaneously in a group subjects with functional instability compared noninjured these phases cycle.PurposeTo compare lower limb electromyographic treadmill walking those observed group.Study DesignControlled laboratory study.MethodsThree-dimensional angular velocities displacements hip, knee, joints, well surface electromyography rectus femoris, peroneus longus, tibialis anterior, s...
