The influence of unstable surfaces on ankle muscle activation during functional exercises

The study aims to compare how 3 balance platform designs affect ankle muscle activation during various functional exercises, all performed on the dominant limb. Fifteen healthy, active participants performed single-leg stance, single-leg squat, and forward lunge on BOSU® Ball, wobble board, stabilit...

Description
Summary:The study aims to compare how 3 balance platform designs affect ankle muscle activation during various functional exercises, all performed on the dominant limb. Fifteen healthy, active participants performed single-leg stance, single-leg squat, and forward lunge on BOSU® Ball, wobble board, stability trainer, and flat ground. Surface electromyography was used to measure Peroneus Longus, Tibialis Anterior, Gastrocnemius, and Soleus activation during these exercises on different platforms and flat ground. Repeated measures ANOVA with two factors (exercise and platform) were used for analysis. There was a significant interaction between balance platforms and exercises (p
