Summary

This study investigated the effect of various initial foot positions on knee and ankle proprioception, balance, dynamic balance, vertical jump, and electromyographical muscle activity in basketball players with FF.

Detailed description

Objective: To investigate the effect of various initial foot positions on knee and ankle proprioception, balance, dynamic balance, vertical jump, and electromyographical muscle activity in basketball players with FF. Methods: Eighty-four basketball players with chronic ankle instability were distributed to three groups (28 with flexible FF, 28 with rigid FF, and 28 without FF). The outcome measures will include static and dynamic balance, knee and ankle proprioception, vertical jump, and electromyography (EMG) of ankle muscles (including gastrocnemius (GE), soleus (SOL), tibialis anterior (TA), and peroneus longus (PL) muscles)

Conditions

• Balance
• Proprioception
• Jumping Performance
