The relationship between ankle joint physiological characteristics and balance control during unilateral stance (2013)
Journal Article
Amin, D., & Herrington, L. (2014). The relationship between ankle joint physiological characteristics and balance control during unilateral stance. Gait & Posture, 39(2), 718-722. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.10.004

Background
The role that the ankle's physiological characteristics play in maintaining balance during quiet stance has been well documented. However, the role of the ankle in maintaining balance during more challenging conditions is questionable. As...
