Running gait adaptations among adolescent runners with soft tissue impairments following lateral ankle sprains.

Spatiotemporal and kinematic running adaptations may predispose young runners with initial LAS to secondary soft tissue dysfunction due to loss of stability from ligamentous structures and an overreliance on myotendinous control. Clinicians may consider targeting these maladaptations during gait-training interventions. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
