文摘

There is no clear consensus about the relation between chronic ankle instability and isokinetic evertors’ weakness. Isokinetic tests didn’t represent the most accurate way to evidence evertors’ weakness in chronically unstable ankles Functional tests, easy to implement in daily practice, are needed to assess ankle evertors’ weakness Inversion velocity peak in weight bearing conditions represents a promising tool for eccentric evertors’ weakness assessment.
