Effects of Ankle Evertor Fatigue on Force Sense and Neuromuscular Activation in Subjects With Chronic Ankle Instability
Effects of Ankle Evertor Fatigue on Force Sense and Neuromuscular Activation During Submaximal Isometric Contractions in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability
University of Ljubljana
50 participants
May 15, 2025
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate whether ankle evertor muscle fatigue impairs force perception and alters neuromuscular activation patterns during submaximal isometric contractions, and whether these effects differ between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and individuals without CAI.

- No peripheral or central neurological impairments,
- Diagnosed chronic ankle instability:
- First ankle sprain occurred at least one year prior to testing,
- At least three months since the most recent ankle sprain,
- Subjective feeling of ankle instability - CAIT (Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool) score \< 24.
Exclusion Criteria1
- \- Other pathologies of the ankle joint.
