Description
Hyung Gyu Jeon and co-authors compare knee loading during running in people with chronic ankle instability in a 2026 biomechanics study. Twelve patients with the condition and twelve controls ran in a laboratory while a musculoskeletal simulation estimated forces inside the knee joint and the contribution of each leg muscle. Ankle instability is known to alter leg mechanics, raising concern about early joint degeneration at the knee.
Patients showed greater backward and sideways knee shear forces than controls, plus a larger total compressive load over time, although peak compression did not differ. Stronger quadriceps contribution drove the extra loading. The authors suggest rehabilitation that addresses coordination of muscles above the ankle may help protect the knee in people whose ankles remain unstable after sprains.
