Compensatory Kinetics During the Side-Hop Test in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability.

Context: Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit altered movement strategies during side-cutting tasks. However, no researchers have assessed how altered movement strategies affect cutting performance.

Objective: To investigate compensatory strategies in the side-hop test (SHT), with a focus on the entire lower extremity, among individuals with CAI.
