Differences in lower extremity kinematics and kinetics during a side-cutting task in patients with and without chronic ankle instability

Our findings indicate that patients with CAI exhibit altered lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics during side-cutting task, with significant sex-specific differences. These movement pattern changes involve proximal joint compensation to stabilize the unstable distal ankle joint; however, these compensatory changes are not always favorable. The greater hip external rotation moment and greater knee internal rotation angle demonstrated by male CAI patients, the smaller hip flexion angle and greater ankle internal rotation angle demonstrated by female CAI patients, and the smaller knee flexion angle and greater knee abduction moment common to both sexes may impair the lower limb's ability to effectively absorb and dissipate ground reaction forces, potentially elevating the risk of lower extremity injuries.

Abstract

Our findings indicate that patients with CAI exhibit altered lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics during side-cutting task, with significant sex-specific differences. These movement pattern changes involve proximal joint compensation to stabilize the unstable distal ankle joint; however, these compensatory changes are not always favorable. The greater hip external rotation moment and greater knee internal rotation angle demonstrated by male CAI patients, the smaller hip flexion angle and greater ankle internal rotation angle demonstrated by female CAI patients, and the smaller knee flexion angle and greater knee abduction moment common to both sexes may impair the lower limb's ability to effectively absorb and dissipate ground reaction forces, potentially elevating the risk of lower extremity injuries.
