Unilateral balance training enhances neuromuscular reactions to perturbations in the trained and contralateral limb

Unilateral balance training enhances neuromuscular reactions to perturbations in the trained and contralateral limb

Highlights • Unilateral balance training was carried out in 23 subjects over six weeks. • EMG and GRF recorded from dynamic balance tests on a moveable force plate. • Training group was tested on the trained and untrained leg, compared to controls. • Neuromuscular improvements for the trained and un...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Unilateral balance training was carried out in 23 subjects over six weeks. • EMG and GRF recorded from dynamic balance tests on a moveable force plate. • Training group was tested on the trained and untrained leg, compared to controls. • Neuromuscular improvements for the trained and untrained side. • Untrained leg effect is potentially useful in rehabilitation after ankle injury.
