Abstract

Functional instability, i.e. recurrent sprains or a feeling of giving way in the joint, is common after ankle sprain. Using stabilometry, an objective and quantitative method for studying postural control, we earlier showed that soccer players with pathological stabilometric results are at risk for ankle joint injury. In the present study we found that the ability to maintain postural equilibrium as demonstrated by stabilometry was reduced among players with functional instability, but was not affected by mechanical instability. The results indicate that coordination and postural control are important for functional instability of the ankle. Verf.-Referat
