What is Effect of Varied Dorsiflexion Range of Motion on Landing Biomechanics in Chronic Ankle Instability about?

Background Limited dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) is a risk factor for lateral ankle sprain. However, varied DFROM exists within the chronic ankle instability (CAI) population, and how the variability may influence altered movement patterns during landing is unclear. Objective The purpose of this study was to identify different movement strategies during maximal jump landing/cutting among CAI patients classified by varied DFROM. Methods One hundred CAI subjects were classified into 3 subgroups based on their DFROM, measured by the weight-bearing lunge test: a Hypo- (≤40°), Normal- (40–50°), and Hyper-DFROM group (≥50°). Participants completed five trials of maximal jump landing/cutting. Lower extremity joint angles and EMG activation of seven muscles were collected from initial contact to toe-off. Functional analyses of variance were used to evaluate between-group differences for these outcome variables. Results Hypo-DFROM group (14M, 10F) displayed the reduced ankle dorsiflexion and inversion angles with increased hip flexion angle as a compensatory kinematic chain movement strategy. In addition, motion restrictions of the ankle are associated with altered muscle activation
