Résumé

The objective of this study was to quantify the kinematic, kinetic and electromyography differences between individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI) during comfortable (CW) and fast (FW) walking. Twenty-one individuals with CAI and 21 healthy controls were recruited to walk at CW and FW speeds. The dependent variables were gluteus medius, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus longus and tibialis anterior muscles mean activity, ankle and knee angles and moments. Kinematic, kinetic and electromyography variables were compared between groups with a one-dimensional statistical non-parametric mapping analysis. The CAI group exhibited no significant difference for ankle angles and moments compared to the control group. However, the CAI group showed less external knee rotation from 56 to 100% (CW) and 51 to 98% (FW) and more knee abduction moment from 1 to 6% and 7 to 9% (CW) and 1 to 2% (FW) of the stance phase. Less gluteus medius muscle activity was also observed from 6 to 9% and 99 to 100% (CW) of the stance phase for the CAI group. These results suggest proximal biomechanical compensations and will help better understand the underlying deficits associated with CAI. They also indicate that regardless of walking speeds, individuals with CAI exhibit similar differences compared to healthy participants.
