Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in ankle stability according to the height of the worn elastic ankle protector.
Methods: The subjects of this were 17 healthy subjects. After wearing a low-height elastic ankle protector and a high-elastic ankle protector, plantar pressure was measured and analyzed during the gait cycle.
Results: As a result of the study, there was no statistical significance in the six areas of the forefoot, and when walking with a high-elastic ankle protector, there was a statistically significant difference in R1, R3, and R4 among the four areas of the hind foot (p<0.05).
Conclusion: A high ankle protector can help stabilize the ankle joint when walking, and it can help normal gait by increasing the pressure on the sole of the foot.
