Gender differences in frontal and sagittal plane biomechanics during drop landings

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine gender differences in lower-extremity joint kinematics and kinetics between age- and skill-matched recreational athletes. Conclusions reveal that the majority of the differences in kinematic and kinetic variables between male and female recreational athletes during landing are observed in the frontal plane not in the sagittal plane.

Effects of ankle support on lower-extremity functional performance: A meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

Efforts made to meta-analyze studies regarding the effects of external ankle support on lower-extremity functional performance measures is presented. Results suggest that the benefit in preventing injury outweighs the possibility of substantial but small impairment of performance when athletes use external ankle support.

Talocrural and subtalar joint instability after lateral ankle sprain

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to assess injury in athletes with lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and its related talocrural (TC) joint laxity using physical examination and stress fluoroscopy. Results indicate that patients with history of LAS also showed combined TC and subtalar laxity.
