Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to show the effect of different ankle alignments on kinematic parameters of the lower extremities, pelvis and thorax in one-legged standing. [Subjects] Forty young healthy subjects participated in this study. [Method] We employed a 3-dimensional motion analysis system to capture kinetic data of one-legged standing. Ankle alignments were set in five experimental conditions which were eversion, inversion, plantar flexion and dorsal flexion using a slope of 10 degrees and a free alignment without it. [Result] Significant differences were observed mainly in the coronal and horizontal planes. [Conclusion] Postural control in the coronal plane was activated by change of base of support, and the kinetic chain of the hip and pelvis reacted to changes in ankle alignment.<br>
