Abstract
This study aimed to investigate postural sway complexity in chronic ankle instability (CAI) in static postural control and its relationship with the duration of ankle instability. 61 participants were recruited, including 35 CAI and 26 healthy controls (HC). Right leg standing balance was assessed in eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions for 20s. Multiscale entropy was used to quantify the complexity of center of pressure fluctuations in the anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) directions. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in postural sway complexity between the two groups. Compared with HC, the AP (F = 6.812, p = 0.012, η2 = 0.133) and ML sway complexity (F = 4.164, p = 0.047, η2 = 0.087) in EO condition was significantly lower in CAI group, but not in EC (ML: F = 1.229, p = 0.274, η2 = 0.027; AP: F = 2.398, p = 0.129, η2 = 0.052). The duration of ankle instability was correlated with ML sway complexity in EC condition in CAI group (r = -0.484, p = 0.023). This indicates that CAIs have poor adaptability to stressors, and multiscale entropy can serve as a potential indicator for identifying impaired postural control with eyes open in CAI.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sports Sciences has an international reputation for publishing articles of a high standard and is both Medline and Clarivate Analytics-listed. It publishes research on various aspects of the sports and exercise sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, performance analysis, physiology, psychology, sports medicine and health, as well as coaching and talent identification, kinanthropometry and other interdisciplinary perspectives.
The emphasis of the Journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined and applied to sport and exercise. Besides experimental work in human responses to exercise, the subjects covered will include human responses to technologies such as the design of sports equipment and playing facilities, research in training, selection, performance prediction or modification, and stress reduction or manifestation. Manuscripts considered for publication include those dealing with original investigations of exercise, validation of technological innovations in sport or comprehensive reviews of topics relevant to the scientific study of sport.
