This study analyzed lower extremity muscle activity during cutting movements to understand ankle sprain injury risks. Key muscles like the tibialis anterior are crucial for ankle stability and injury prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Neuromuscular Control

Background:

  • Ankle sprains are common injuries, particularly during cutting movements.
  • Understanding muscle function during these movements is vital for injury prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Establish a database of kinematic and electromyography (EMG) data during cutting movements.
  • Describe normal muscle function and coordination of lower extremity muscles.
  • Identify potential muscle coordination deficiencies linked to ankle sprain injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Collected kinematic, EMG, and ground reaction force (GRF) data.
  • Subjects performed side-shuffle and V-cut movements.
  • Analyzed data from 10 recreationally active male participants.

Main Results:

  • Muscles functioned similarly during both cutting movements.
  • Hip and knee extensors primarily decelerated and propelled.
  • Ankle muscles, particularly tibialis anterior, showed distinct roles in stability and propulsion.

Conclusions:

  • Ankle joint muscles, especially tibialis anterior and peroneus longus, are critical for preventing ankle sprains.
  • These muscles enhance subtalar joint stability by limiting excessive rotations.
  • Further research using dynamic simulations is recommended to quantify muscle contributions to injury prevention.
