Dual Task Reduces Balance Score but not Joint Repositioning Error in Female Athletes with Dynamic Knee Valgus

SUMMARY Background. Dynamic knee valgus (DKV) refers to an improper movement strategy of the lower limbs involving multiple planes. Objective. The present study aimed to examine the impact of dual task conditions on joint repositioning sense in female athletes with DKV. Methods. This controlled laboratory investigation involved 31 volunteered female athletes who met specific criteria … Continued

Reliability of Nonlinear Kinematic Analysis in Patients with Functional Ankle Instability During Dual-Task Walking

SUMMARY Objective. This study aimed to determine the intrasession reliability of nonlinear gait kinematic analysis under single and dual-task conditions in individuals with and without Functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods. Individuals with FAI and healthy subjects completed a walking task on a treadmill, with or without performing an auditory Stroop task. The gait kinematic parameters, including the LyE of … Continued
