简要总结
Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) show biomechanical and neuromuscular alterations during the performance of functional movements not only at the ankle joint level, but also in more proximal joints and segments. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of chronic ankle instability on neuromuscular control at the knee joint level. The aim of this study is to investigate whenther abnormalities exists in maximal and sub-maximal isometric muscle strength expression in patients with CAI.
