Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Visual Use in Chronic Ankle Instability: A Meta-analysis
TL;DR: The underlying cause of balance impairments in chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients remains unknown, but an altered use of sensory information has been hypothesized as a potential cause as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Cognitive Loading on Motor Behavior in Injured Individuals: A Systematic Review.
TL;DR: The results of this systematic review indicate that motor performance is further impaired by placing a cognitive load on individuals in populations with musculoskeletal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balance Training Versus Balance Training With STARS in Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: While statistically no more effective, exceeding minimal detectable change scores and favorable effect sizes suggest that a 4-week progressive BTS program may be more effective at improving self-assessed disability and postural control in CAI patients than balance training in isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plantar Cutaneous Sensitivity With and Without Cognitive Loading in People With Chronic Ankle Instability, Copers, and Uninjured Controls.
TL;DR: People with CAI have deficits in plantar sensation relative to controls and copers, and cognitive loading increases plantar cutaneous sensation thresholds irrespective of CAI status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting dynamic balance improvements following 4-weeks of balance training in chronic ankle instability patients

TL;DR: Completing a brief pre-treatment assessment of a patient- and clinician-oriented outcome can significantly improve the probability of determining patients with CAI who may improve dynamic balance after balance training.
