Six weeks of strength and proprioception training does not affect muscle fatigue and static balance in functional ankle instability

Article Abstract:

The influence of six weeks of strength and proprioception training on measures of muscle fatigue and static balance in those with unilateral functional ankle instability is studied. The results show that all these fail to improve postural-stability characteristics in subjects with functional ankle instability.

Reliability of intratester and intertester measurements derived from an instrumented ankle arthrometer

Article Abstract:

Efforts made to determine the reliability of laxity measurements obtained from an instrumented ankle arthrometer is presented. The results indicate that laxity measurements from an instrumented ankle arthrometer are reliable across test days and examiners.

Effect of fatigue on neuromuscular function at the ankle

Article Abstract:

A study on male and female subjects aims to evaluate neuromuscular function of the ankle after fatigue. The results indicate changes in peak torque, peak EMG and median frequency of ankle musculature after plantar flexor fatigue.
