Abstract
This study investigates whether a simplified landing stability error system can differentiate individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Fifteen CAI and fifteen healthy controls performed jumping landing tasks when instructed with the landing side before (planned) or after (unplanned) take-off. Landing errors were identified as the following criteria: (1) touching the ground with the free leg, (2) standing leg leaving the force plate after landing, (3) touching the ground with the hands, and (4) lateral deviation of sternum over hips. The CAI group had a higher total error (1.70±0.65 times/trial) compared to the normal group (0.89±0.58 times/trial), with a cut-off value of 1.37 times/trial, which provides a sensitivity of 78.6% and specificity of 88.9% in differentiating CAI. The simplified landing stability error system could be a promising method for differentiation and diagnosis of CAI.
