Muscle Synergies of the Lower Extremities During Gait Initiation in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability
In CAI, PL muscle weakness is offset by the TA, RF, and GM_L muscles resulting in altered ankle strategies during gait instability. This compensation disrupts motor chains, increases movement complexity, and involves the CNS, framing CAI as a global movement issue rather than a localized problem.
