Purpose: Hip muscle function has been reported to be altered in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The purpose of this study was (1) to determine whether the single leg squat test (SLST) could be used to detect differences in proximal muscle activation between individuals with and without CAI and (2) to determine if there was a difference in maximum isometric body weight normalized torque output of the hip lateral rotators, extensors, and abductors between individuals with and without CAI.
