Summary: This study aimed to explore the intra-foot biomechanical differences among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy individuals during dynamic tasks. The study found that copers and CAI individuals had smaller dorsiflexion angles and copers presented a more eversion position compared to healthy participants. Copers also had greater dorsiflexion angles in the metatarsophalangeal joint and more inversion moments in the subtalar joint during certain tasks. These findings can help in designing interventions to restore ankle joint functions in CAI individuals.

Summary: This study found that individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit abnormal ankle kinematics and muscle activities during inversion single-leg landing, increasing the risk of recurrent sprains. However, no significant differences were observed between the CAI and coper groups during normal single-leg landing. These results highlight the additional attention needed for individuals with CAI during inversion single-leg landing.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess how ankle muscles affect the performance of the SEBT in individuals with stable ankles, a history of ankle sprain, and chronic ankle instability (CAI). The results showed that individuals with stable ankles and copers had greater reach distance compared to those with CAI. Subjects with stable ankles and CAI had increased activation of the tibialis anterior muscles, while copers had increased activation of the fibularis longus muscles. Subjects with CAI had increased activation of the medial gastrocnemius muscles. Overall, copers and individuals with CAI demonstrated altered neuromuscular function compared to those with stable ankles.

Summary: The study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of clinical tests and ultrasonography in detecting ankle ligament injuries, with ultrasonography showing high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing normal and torn ligaments. Ultrasonography was proven reliable in determining the status of specific ligaments, making it an effective complementary tool for early diagnosis of ankle injuries.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effects of plantar-sensory treatments on postural control in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The results showed that plantar massage and long-term whole-body vibration could significantly improve postural control. This study has important implications for the rehabilitation treatment of CAI patients.

Summary: This study compared the differences in locomotion biomechanics and dynamic postural control between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and copers. The findings showed that CAI individuals adopted different hip strategies for stability, had increased ankle displacement and angle, and exhibited poorer performance in certain directions. These identified motion deficits provide opportunities for targeted interventions.

Summary: The study compared the lower-extremity joint kinematics and muscle activities of individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers (COP), and controls (CON) during unexpected single-leg landing and cutting. The results revealed that copers and controls demonstrated better movement strategies and physical performance in some aspects compared to individuals with chronic ankle instability.

Summary: The study aimed to provide and analyze a new ultrasound method of diagnosis for acute lateral ankle sprain, which can thoroughly investigate overall lesions of the foot and ankle. The findings suggest that an ultrasound examination involving investigation of the midtarsal joint and syndesmotic ligament, as well as the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament, is useful for comprehensive, systemic diagnosis of acute lateral ankle sprain.

Summary: The study found that patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) performed worse in memory, visual memory, and simple attention, especially in male patients. These differences may lead to uncontrolled episodes of giving way due to deficits in spatial awareness or an inability to identify environmental obstacles. Clinicians should explore innovative rehabilitation protocols to improve neurocognitive abilities in patients with CAI.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis found limited differences in pitchers before and after UCLR, as well as post-UCLR pitchers compared to healthy controls. UCLR may influence throwing velocity, but had no significant effect on the throwing biomechanics or ROM of baseball pitchers. Further evidence is needed to fully understand the impact of UCLR on throwing biomechanics.

Summary: Patellar tendinopathy is a common but misunderstood condition, which hinders clinicians' ability to provide effective treatment interventions. Patients often experience long-term, mild to moderate pain, reduced flexibility and strength, and decreased physical function. Load-management strategies and progressive tendon loading exercises are the most effective treatment options.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in pitching volume and biomechanics between low-, moderate-, and high-level specialized baseball pitchers. The results showed that high-level specialized pitchers were older, had larger body mass and BMI, and threw faster compared to low-level specialized pitchers. However, pitching volume and biomechanics were similar across groups. Further research should focus on the relationship between pitching biomechanics, upper extremity strength and flexibility, and sport specialization.

Summary: Lower levels of physical activity are often observed among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to children without ASD. This systematic review with meta-analysis found that children with ASD were significantly less physically active than children without ASD. Subgroup analyses showed significant differences in physical activity based on intensity level, age, setting, and measurement methods. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms associated with lower levels of physical activity among children with ASD.

Summary: This study aimed to validate a choice-reaction hop test (CRHT) by comparing it to the side-hop test (SHT) in terms of timing and to determine the test-retest reliability of CRHT. The results showed that CRHT took longer to complete compared to SHT, indicating its ability to stress neurocognitive function during an FPT. CRHT demonstrated good-excellent test-retest reliability, suggesting it could be a useful measure in serial evaluations.

Summary: This study aimed to compare neurocognitive hop function among individuals with chronic ankle instability, ankle sprain copers, and control participants, as well as explore the relationship between self-reported function and neurocognitive hop performance. The results showed no significant differences in neurocognitive hop performance among the groups, but there was a strong correlation between the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool and the Choice-Reaction Hop Test. Participants with chronic ankle instability who reported worse disability also demonstrated poorer neurocognitive hop performance during the Choice-Reaction Hop Test.
