The study suggested that patients with CAI exhibit a comparable modular organizational framework to the healthy group. Investigation of amplitude adjustments within the synergy spatial module shed light on the adaptive strategies employed by the tibialis anterior and gluteus maximus muscles to optimize control strategies during landing in patients with CAI. Variances in the muscle-specific weights of the vastus lateralis across movement modules reveal novel biomechanical adaptations in CAI, offering valuable insights for refining rehabilitation protocols.
