Does ipsilateral chronic ankle instability alter kinematics of the other joints of the lower extremities: a biomechanical study

ConclusionChronic ankle instability results in altered biomechanics of the ipsilateral knee as well as the contralateral ankle, knee, and hip joints. The alterations caused by CAI may predispose patients to overuse and/or acute injuries of other joints of lower extremities during routine and sporting activity.
