Proximal-dominant knee-ankle coordination compensations in football players with chronic ankle instability under high load.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is associated with alterations in lower limb biomechanics. However, little is known about the knee-ankle joint coordination characteristics in individuals with CAI. This study aimed to investigate sagittal plane kinematic differences and knee-ankle coordination strategies in football players with CAI under different locomotor load conditions. Methods: Forty male football players (CAI: Results: Compared with healthy controls, participants with CAI showed significantly reduced ankle dorsiflexion during running at 22%-42% ( Conclusion: This study revealed significant differences in knee-ankle joint coordination between CAI patients and healthy controls. The findings suggest that CAI-related motor control adaptations are load-dependent and follow a distal-to-proximal compensatory strategy. These results highlight the importance of incorporating inter-joint coordination retraining into rehabilitation, particularly under high-load locomotor scenarios. Level of Evidence: N/A.
