Researchers tested the strength, endurance, and balance of 22 collegiate basketball players.
Athletes with a history of ankle instability demonstrated significantly inferior abdominal endurance and core stability compared to the un-injured control group.
Conclusions
Integrating ankle function with core stability may be a necessary component of rehabilitation for ankle injury.
