Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Ankle sprains are one of the most frequently occurring injuries in sports activities. It is reported that up to 40% of individuals who sustain an ankle sprain develop residual Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI). Recurrent sprains are thought to increase the risk of re-injury, often due to subsequent biomechanical alterations. Furthermore, for the prevention and treatment of CAI and ankle sprains, it is considered essential to comprehensively evaluate and intervene not only on the locally injured site but also on the coordination and biomechanics of the entire lower limb.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct a kinematic analysis of single-leg drop jump landings in high school male soccer players using a field-portable Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). By analyzing the inter-segmental coordination across multiple body segments, this research aims to contribute to the future prevention of ankle sprains and the onset of CAI.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate differences in kinematic characteristics and multi-segmental coordination during the landing phase of a single-leg drop jump in high school male soccer players with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) compared to a control group, using a Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).

Key inclusion criteria

1) Male high school soccer players (grades 10-12) enrolled in a high school within Gunma Prefecture
2) Individuals from whom assent and parental/guardian informed consent were obtained after reading the study's explanatory documents
3) Individuals who were able to participate in their regular team practices without restriction
4) Individuals who met the criteria for either the CAI group or the Control group based on the results of the Japanese version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-J) and the Instability Ankle Criteria (IAC) questionnaire:
・CAI group:
(1) A score of <=25 on the CAIT-J
(2) A "yes" response to all selection criteria for CAI on the IAC questionnaire
・Control group:
(1) A score of =>26 on the CAIT-J
(2) A "no" response to one or more of the selection criteria for CAI on the IAC questionnaire

Key exclusion criteria

1) Individuals experiencing pain during jumping or landing activities due to any orthopedic condition
2) Individuals unable to participate in regular team practices due to pain, or any orthopedic or internal medical conditions
3) Individuals who did not provide consent after reading the explanatory document (including those who did not consent to being video-recorded)
4) Individuals with a history of surgery on either lower extremity
5) Individuals who had sustained an acute injury to any lower extremity joint (including the ankle) within the three months prior to study participation, which resulted in an inability to practice for one or more days
6) Individuals with a potential skin allergy or sensitivity to the adhesive tape used for attaching the IMU sensors
7) For the Control group only: a history of two or more previous sprains to the same ankle
