Evaluating plantar biomechanics while descending a single step with different heights
When the characteristics of biomechanical stability are compromised by step height, landing foot, and footedness factors - due to altered foot landing strategies, changing COP, or uneven force distribution - ability to control motion efficiently and respond adaptively to the forces experienced during movement is challenged, increasing the likelihood of loss of dynamic balance, with a consequent increased risk of ankle sprains and falls.
