Sažetak
Ankle injury causes multiple disorders in the human body. As a result, there are changes in proprioception, balance, muscle activity, and gait. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ankle injury on dynamic stability using the Y-balance test as a reliable and valid indicator of dynamic stability. The study was conducted at the Clinical Institute for Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Aids of the University Hospital Centre Zagreb. A total of 30 subjects with and without an ankle injury took part in the study and were divided into two groups depending on the diagnosis and type of injury. Encouraged by the methodologies and results of previous studies and their recommendations for further research, this study examined the difference in the Y-balance test results between subjects with an ankle injury and those without such an injury. Each subjects achieved distance in the anterior reach direction of the Y-balance test was recorded on video. Using the Kinovea computer program, the angle of dorsal flexion in the ankle joint was analyzed at the maximum anterior reach during the Y-balance test. Subjects without an ankle injury had better results in the anterior reach variable. In the posteromedial and posterolateral variables, there was no statistically significant difference between the injured and the uninjured. A possible reason for this is that in the posteromedial and posterolateral direction no greater range of dorsiflexion is required, unlike balance, which is required because the subject does not see the posterior direction as well as the anterior reach direction. It was observed that the subjects had better results after each subsequent repetition.
