Abstract

Mean ankle joint position can vary substantially during functional activities and, in a number of physiological and biomechanical studies, has been shown to have an effect on reflex and mechanical behaviour of the ankle joint. Furthermore, abnormal mean ankle joint position is associated with many neurological and orthopaedic disorders and the ability to quantitatively depict such abnormalities would be useful for the assessment and treatment of these patients. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of this parameter using a systems identification approach.
