Dr. Terada, Assistant Professor in College of Sport and Health Science, published a research manuscript in Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise, co-authored with Dr. Phillip Gribble, Dr. Claire Hiller, Dr. Abbey Thomas, Dr. Brian Pietrosimone, and Ms. Samantha Bower. This original investigation aimed to determine if selected sensorimotor, mechanical, and self-reported measures are different among chronic ankle instability (CAI) subgroups, healthy control participants, and lateral ankle sprain copers. In the study, eight outcome measures from neural excitability, static postural control, and HRQOL showed a significant differentiation between groups. Our findings from this study suggest that CAI is multidimensional health condition and indicate that clinicians need to consider what may be the contributing factors to physical and self-reported functions associated with CAI to select the most appropriate interventions.
