Effects of Ankle Evertor Fatigue on Perturbed Gait

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Chronic Ankle Instability, CAI

In brief

This study will investigate the effects of ankle evertor muscle fatigue on gait stability during treadmill walking with mechanical perturbations. Participants will walk at two speeds (0.4 m/s and 1.0 m/s) while random medial and lateral perturbations (\<10% body weight) are applied to the pelvis. Surface EMG from ankle muscles and center of pressure (COP)-based gait parameters (e.g., step length, step width, single support duration, COP trajectory) will be analyzed before and immediately after an isotonic fatigue protocol of the ankle evertors.
