Abstract
Background
We aimed to synthesize the kinematics and kinetics during landing and walking/running tasks of ankle copers compared with patients with chronic ankle instability and controls.
Methods
We systematically searched PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Tri-planar lower extremity biomechanics (joint angle and moment at maximum and initial contact, and joint displacement) were synthesized using standard mean difference and 95 % confidence intervals. We assessed methodological quality, study heterogeneity, and publication bias.
Findings
We identified 13 studies. Pooled evidence indicated that copers had less inversion and eversion angles, and ankle frontal displacement during landing compared with patients with chronic ankle instability (|standard mean difference| 0.31–0.40). Copers revealed greater dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and ankle sagittal displacement during landing and less plantarflexion moment during walking than patients with chronic ankle instability (|standard mean difference| 0.29–0.46); however, most ankle biomechanics of copers were not significantly different from those of controls. In the proximal joints, copers revealed less knee valgus angle at maximum and initial contact (|standard mean difference| 0.25–0.33); and less hip flexion angle at maximum and initial contact, hip external rotation angle and sagittal and frontal displacement during landing (standard mean difference 0.49–0.73) than patients with chronic ankle instability. Copers had less hip extension moment during walking and greater maximum hip adduction angle during landing than controls (|standard mean difference| 0.66–0.77).
Interpretations
Our results provide insight into the lower extremity biomechanics of copers during dynamic tasks, contributing injury coping mechanisms and developing rehabilitation programs to return to sports.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
