Chronic Ankle Instability And Hip Muscle Function: A Systematic Review, Lindsay Carroll
Graduate Student Research Symposium
Purpose/background
The connection between hip strength and knee function is widely accepted in rehabilitation. The beginnings of evidence supporting a connection between the hip and ankle in people with chronic ankle instability (CAI) causes clinicians to question how the hip and the ankle may interact in this population.
