Our purpose was to examine postural control in single leg stance in subjects with and without unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) using traditional center of pressure (COP)-based and time-to-boundary (TTB) measures. Fifteen physically active females with self-reported unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) and nine healthy female controls performed three 10-s trials of eyes open single limb quiet standing on a force plate on both their legs. The traditional measures were mean COP velocity, standard deviation of COP, range of COP, and percent of available range utilized. The TTB measures were absolute minimum TTB, mean of the minimum TTB samples, and standard deviation of the minimum TTB samples. All measures were calculated in both the mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) directions. A 2x2 group (CAI, control) by side (involved, uninvolved) design was utilized. The CAI group had significantly lower scores for five of the six TTB measures compared to the control group, however only one (AP COP velocity) of the eight traditional measures was different between groups. The TTB measures appear to detect postural control deficits related to CAI that traditional measures do not.

Effects of Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain on Spinal Reflex Excitability and Time-to-Boundary Postural Control in Single-Leg Stance.

: Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) affects balance, often assessed by changes in traditional center of pressure (COP) parameters. Spatiotemporal measures of COP and time-to-boundary (TTB) analysis may offer improved sensitivity in detecting postural deviations associated with ALAS. However, the neurophysiological mechanism underlying these changes remains unknown.

In occupational domains such as sports, healthcare, driving, and military, both individuals and small groups are expected to perform challenging tasks under adverse conditions that induce transient cognitive states such as stress, workload, and uncertainty. Wearable and standoff 6DOF sensing technologies are advancing rapidly, including increasingly miniaturized yet robust inertial measurement units (IMUs) and portable marker-less infrared optical motion tracking. These sensing technologies may offer opportunities to track overt physical behavior and classify cognitive states relevant to human performance in diverse human-machine domains.

Article Synopsis
- Both proprioceptive training and modified Broström-Gould surgery can enhance ankle stability in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI), but more analysis is needed to decide which method is better.
- A study with 56 patients compared the effects of these two treatments, measuring various aspects like foot ability and balance over a year.
- Results showed that the nonoperative group benefited more consistently over time in terms of function and balance, whereas the operative group had mixed results, with some benefits appearing later but not as strong overall.
The aim of this study was to examine how intensifying training loads over a week affects the sleep patterns of young soccer players on the nights immediately following the intensified training sessions. Quasi-experimental study. Fifteen young athletes participants of a team engaged in national level competition, underwent two weeks of training with varying load magnitudes-Week 1: low accumulated training load and Week 2: intensified training loads [40% increase in external training load(ETL)].

Previous studies have demonstrated that the administration of zoledronic acid (ZOL) once yearly for 3 years or once over 3 years, yields similar antifracture efficacy. Bone turnover markers can predict the antifracture efficacy of antiresorptive agents, with procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) being the most useful marker. In this retrospective cohort study, we explored the effects of intravenous dosing of ZOL guided by serum (S)-P1NP assessment on bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures.
