Single-leg balance in “instability” footwear
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The concept of instability footwear is to reduce stability, increase muscle activation and “tone”. Recently numerous brands have developed instability footwear for significant sales. Despite extensive marketing claims there are few empirical studies quantifying effects of instability footwear on muscle activity or motion in healthy individuals aside from Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) [1,2]. The aim of the study was to quantify instability in single-leg standing in a variety of commercially available instability sandals.

Balance strategies in athletes with chronic ankle instability, Coper and healthy athletes while standing on one leg
Ankle sprain is one of the most commonly damaged lower extremities. More than 70% of people with ankle sprain experience chronic ankle instability. However, some people are well adapted to this damage (Coper people) and do not suffer from chronic ankle instability. The aim of this study was to compare EMG activity of the selected involved muscles in balance control strategies in athletes with c...
