title: The assessment of ankle joint forces during the postural balance control movement.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to calculate three-dimensional angular displacements, moments and joint reaction forces of the ankle joint during the waist pulling, and then, we assessed the reaction forces and bone-on-bone forces within ankle joint during postural balance control movement. With experiments and MATLAB simulation we could calculate ankle joint kinematic and kinetic data. The results presented in this study will be useful data for understanding the injury mechanism of ankle joint during postural balance control.
