Abstract

The objective of this literature review is to understand the role of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in sports performance and the risk of injuries. The ankle harmonizes the interaction between the body and the supporting surface through adjusting to the supporting surface and handling forces to contribute effectually to different functional activities. Ankle dorsiflexion is an essential construct in many sport-specific skills. Ankle dorsiflexion is associated with activation of brain areas involved in movement preparation, sensory integration, motor planning/execution, balance, and visuomotor coordination. Ankle dorsiflexion was associated with enhanced activation of deep core and quadriceps muscles. Decreased ankle dorsiflexion is linked to compensations and altered kinetics and kinematics that can potentially affect sports performance and increase the chances of sustaining injuries. It is vindicated to consider more focus on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in research studies, sports-related pre-season screening, clinical examination, injury rehabilitation, and return-to-sports judgment.

踝关节背屈在运动表现和损伤风险中的作用:一个叙述性的回顾

本文献综述的目的是了解踝关节背屈运动范围在运动表现中的作用和受伤风险。脚踝通过调节支撑表面和处理力来协调身体和支撑表面之间的相互作用，从而有效地促进不同的功能活动。踝关节背屈是许多运动专项技能中的一个重要组成部分。踝关节背屈与参与运动准备、感觉整合、运动计划/执行、平衡和视运动协调的大脑区域的激活有关。踝关节背屈与深部核心肌和股四头肌的激活增强有关。踝关节背屈减少与补偿以及动力学和运动学的改变有关，这可能会影响运动表现并增加受伤的机会。在研究、运动相关的季前筛查、临床检查、损伤康复和回归运动判断中，考虑更多地关注踝关节背屈运动范围是正确的。
