Dr. Terada, Assistant
Professor in College of Sport and Health Science, published an original research
manuscript in Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon), co-authored with Drs. Gribble
and Morgan.
This study assessed movement strategies during a single leg balance in chronic ankle instability (CAI) individuals with unstable postural control strategy identified by Nyquist and Bode analyses in conjunction with sample entropy. CAI participants with postural instability classified based on Nyquist and Bode analyses demonstrated a significantly lower sample entropy value in sagittal and frontal plane trunk kinematics and sagittal plane hip kinematics compared to the controls. The lower sample entropy values in participants with chronic ankle instability indicates that those with postural control deficits may increase reliance on the trunk and hip joint contributions to the maintenance of postural control, reflecting changes in the sensorimotor constraints on movement patterns during the task.
