Ankle Biomechanics Summary
The article "Ankle Biomechanics during four landing techniques," written by Brian
P. Self and Daniel Paine is based on a study trying to reveal new ankle injury prevention during landings in a variety of sports. By performing a series of landing tests, the goal is to learn how to prevent ankle injuries in sports through knowledge and understanding of proper landing techniques. Four landing conditions from 30.48 cm in height were tested. The landings include: the natural landing where the participant could use whatever landing technique they would utilize during an actual sporting event, but they must remember to keep their arms above their head through the entire test; the stick it landing where the participant drops with minimal knee flexion,
