Ankle Bracing Alters Coordination and Coordination Variability in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability.

CONCLUSIONS: Greater stability of lower-extremity coordination patterns as well as spatiotemporal locking of the foot-shank coupling during terminal swing may work to guard against malalignment at foot contact and contribute to the efficacy of ankle bracing. Ankle bracing may also act antagonistically to interventions fostering functional variability. PMID: 32131049 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
