Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to clarify the morphological differences in the peroneal muscle group (peroneus longus and peroneus brevis) in subjects including those with chronic ankle instability (CAI), and to evaluate muscle activity during maximal voluntary contraction and torque-maintenance tasks under controlled conditions using a dynamometer.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Morphological and neuromuscular characteristics of lower leg muscles, including muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, shear wave elastography (SWE), echo intensity, and electromyographic (EMG) activity.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Muscle activity of the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus, peroneus brevis, and peroneus longus.

Key secondary outcomes

The primary outcome measures were muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, muscle stiffness assessed by shear wave elastography (SWE), and muscle echo intensity of the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, and tibialis posterior muscles.

Type of intervention

Other

Interventions/Control_1

Muscle morphology of the lower leg muscles is assessed using ultrasound imaging. Surface electromyography is used to record muscle activity during strength measurements.

Interventions/Control_2

Isometric ankle eversion tasks, including maximal voluntary contraction and torque maintenance tasks, are performed using a dynamometer to assess torque and muscle activity of the lower leg muscles.

Interventions/Control_3

Isometric ankle eversion torque maintenance tasks are performed under different ankle joint angle conditions (neutral and plantar flexion) using a dynamometer. After maximal voluntary contraction assessment, participants maintain target torque levels, and torque and muscle activity of the lower leg muscles are measured.
