TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Peroneal Reaction Time and Ankle Sprain Risk in Healthy Adults: A Critically Appraised Topic JO - Journal of sport rehabilitation A1 - Hoch, Matthew C. A1 - McKeon, Patrick O. SP - 505 EP - 511 VL - 20 IS - 4 N2 - Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries identified in athletics, the military, and hospital emergency rooms. A significant number of patients report injury recurrence, residual symptoms, ankle instability, and functional loss associated with a single acute sprain. Identifying modifiable risk factors for sustaining ankle sprains is essential to develop effective injury-prevention strategies. A contributing factor of recurrent ankle instability has been proposed to be delayed peroneal reaction time in response to ankle perturbations. There is also the possibility that this is a risk factor associated with sustaining initial ankle sprains.
