Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if prophylactic ankle bracing effect lower extremity mechanics while performing the Landing Error Scoring System and dynamic test of postural control.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to determine if preventative ankle bracing effects lower extremity mechanics while performing the Landing Error Scoring System and dynamic test of postural control.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the impact of using ankle braces on the mechanics of the lower body. It focuses on how these braces might affect movements during specific physical tests, such as the Landing Error Scoring System and a dynamic test of balance and control.

Participants will perform physical tests with and without ankle braces to measure any changes in their lower body mechanics. These tests are designed to evaluate balance and movement control, helping to understand the role of ankle bracing.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be adults aged 18-50 with no current lower body injuries. Key eligibility includes being physically active and having no history of ankle surgeries.
  • Study details: Participants will perform specific tests with and without wearing ankle braces to assess changes in movement and balance, focusing on their actions during the tests.
