Kinesiophobia Affect Postural Control Strategies During Jump Landing in Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Altered postural control has been observed in chronic ankle instability (CAI). Kinesiophobia (fear of re-injury) has been identified as a factor influencing postural stability. Therefore, postural control was assessed during jump landing among CAI athletes with and without kinesiophobia, as well as healthy controls. Methods: A total of 60 participants were recruited, including 40 individuals with CAI and 20 healthy controls. The CAI group was subdivided into two cohorts: 20 subjects with kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia score > 37) and 20 without kinesiophobia. All participants performed a single-leg jump landing task on a force plate. The following postural stability metrics were calculated: time to stabilization (TTS), and the mean and standard deviation of center of pressure (COP) displacement and velocity in the anterior-posterior (AP), medial-lateral (ML), and total directions. Results: CAI subjects with kinesiophobia exhibited longer TTSs in the AP ( Conclusion: Individuals with a high fear of re-injury may perceive the jump landing task as threatening, requiring more time to land and regain stability. This fear can restrict the variability of velocity in the ML direction, resulting in decreased control over the AP direction due to limitations on managing degrees of freedom.
