Proprioceptive acuity, proprioceptive weighting and balance in individuals with chronic ankle instability

CAI participants do not systematically exhibit proprioceptive or balance impairments. Among CAI participants only, impaired proprioceptive acuity was associated with impaired balance, and participants maintained an ankle-steered strategy even if proprioceptive signals were altered. Practitioners should assess proprioceptive acuity and balance to target potential impairments associated with CAI.
