Abstract
![CDATA[Chronic anke instability (CAI) is characterised by feelings of giving way and/or instability surrounding the ankle joint. Altered afferent feedback during dynamic tasks is thought to contribute to instability in CAI. Excitability of the Iaafferent (or, spinal-relex) pathway has been probed during isometric tasks in this population [1, 2]. However, the functional significance of altered spinal-reflex excitability during a dynamic task and its mechanisms have yet to be comprehensively examined. The primary aim of this study was to examine spinal-reflex excitability during landing and it’s relationship to overall stability in persons with CAI. A second experiment was performed to determine the mechanisms of altered spinal-reflex excitability in CAI.]]
