Abstract

Ankle injuries are common in volleyball players and are linked to the athlete’s postural control. The aim of the report is to investigate the differences between ankle functions and postural control ability of volleyball players and controls, and also the relationship between the variables in order to understand the factors affecting postural control.40 female participants (age: 21.18 ± 0.27, volleyball players/controls: 20/20) were included in the study. Ankle functions (joint range of motion (ROM), joint position sense (JPS), vibration and isometric muscle strength) and postural control variables (anterior-posterior and medial-lateral sway velocity, ellipse area and perimeter) were evaluated by static stability test. The differences between the groups and the correlation between variables were analysed.Significant differences favoured the volleyball group in ankle dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion ROM, JPS, dorsiflexor and plantar flexor isometric muscle strength, and postural control variables (p < 0.05). However, the control group demonstrated superior vibration sensitivity on the 1st and 5th metatarsal heads (p < 0.05). A significant correlation was observed between the anterior-posterior sway velocity and dorsiflexion ROM, medial-lateral sway velocity and sway area with inversion ROM, sway area and vibration threshold in the 1st and 5th metatarsal heads (p < 0.05).Volleyball players showed better results in ankle ROM, JPS, muscle strength and postural control. In addition to the similarities in ankle plantar flexion ROM, invertor and evertor isometric muscle strength between the groups, the controls showed better vibration sensitivity; which reveals potential causes of ankle injuries in volleyball players. Ankle function variables are found to be linked to postural control, highlighting the need to evaluate these functions for injury prevention.
姿势控制与踝关节功能:对大学女子排球运动员的调查
踝关节损伤是排球运动员的常见伤,与运动员的姿势控制能力有关。本报告旨在调查排球运动员和对照组的踝关节功能和姿势控制能力之间的差异,以及变量之间的关系,以了解影响姿势控制的因素。通过静态稳定性测试评估了踝关节功能(关节活动范围(ROM)、关节位置感(JPS)、振动和等长肌力)和姿势控制变量(前后和内外侧摇摆速度、椭圆面积和周长)。排球组在踝关节外翻、内翻和外翻 ROM、JPS、背屈肌和跖屈肌等长肌力以及姿势控制变量方面均有显著差异(P < 0.05)。然而,对照组的第 1 和第 5 跖骨头的振动灵敏度更高(P < 0.05)。排球运动员在踝关节 ROM、JPS、肌肉力量和姿势控制方面表现出更好的结果。除了各组之间在踝关节跖屈 ROM、反转肌和外展肌等长肌力方面的相似性外,对照组显示出更好的振动敏感性;这揭示了排球运动员踝关节损伤的潜在原因。研究发现,踝关节功能变量与姿势控制有关,因此需要对这些功能进行评估,以预防受伤。
