Central processing of ankle proprioceptive information, along with other sensory information, enables integration for balance control.
Central processing of ankle proprioceptive information, along with other sensory information, enables integration for postural and balance control.
Investigation of fewer joints is simpler, and if future experiences show that investigation of only 4 joints, or even only the ankles, can provide information relevant for clinical decision making, it may have implications for haemophilia care.
If central processing of proprioceptive information links ankle proprioception and balance control, then this has implications for ankle proprioceptive assessment.
Here, individuals seeking medical information regarding ankle sprains on any of these websites were informed about our study.
Hereby, individuals seeking medical information regarding ankle sprains in any of these sites came across this call for participants.
We agree with Rougier and Genthon [ 31] that the traditional parameters do not provide sufficient information about ankle and hip strategy.
Ankle proprioception provides essential information to enable adjustment of ankle positions and movements of the upper body, in order to successfully perform the complex motor tasks required in elite sport [ 14, 15].
However, the translation of the rotational measure of MTS into linear measures of MTS of the individual muscles (the different ankle plantar flexors) needs information about tendon dimensions, tendons moment arms, and force sharing.
To be useful in the clinic and for research, a protocol for goniometric measurement of inversion and eversion needs to be highly reliable, both within and between observers, and should provide accurate information about ankle motion.
