Unilateral ankle immobilization alters the kinematics and kinetics of lifting
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Theoretical and empirical data support the notion that distal lower extremity joint dysfunction could influence the low-back injury potential of workers, but the impact of unilateral ankle immobilization on low-back loading during lifting has yet to be examined.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of unilateral ankle immobilization on the kinematics and kinetics of lifting.
