The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles deficits in functional ankle instability: an observational study

Short summary

In individuals with functional ankle instability (FAI), eccentric strength deficits in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles at 60°/s significantly predict impaired balance (41% of variance in single-leg stance with eyes closed) and reduced performance in functional tests like the side hop and Y-balance test.
