“…Previous studies indicated that the level of muscle activation of the ankle musculature during a single-leg stance exercise was greater when performed on balance boards than when performed on flat ground. 1,4 Similar to our results, Braun Ferreira et al 3 determined that there was no difference in muscle activation of the TA, tibialis posterior, FL, and gastrocnemius muscles during a single-leg stance performed on a trampoline versus a balance board. Conversely, Blackburn et al 1 reported a greater EMG signal amplitude for the FL, TA, soleus, and gastrocnemius muscles when performing a single-leg stance exercise on a rigid platform compared to soft surfaces.…”

“…In the present study, the tibialis anterior showed the most sensitive reactions to unstable surfaces. These results are consistent with previous studies that reported that the muscle activity of the tibialis anterior was the highest on unstable surfaces 7) .…”

“…That is, the activation of the tibialis anterior, the peroneus longus, and the medial gastrocnemius, muscles responsible for ankle joint stability, is important for the prevention of injuries and recovery from injuries 7) . Diverse forms of training are conducted in order to stimulate proprioception of the regions around the ankle joints in order to effectively activate the ankle joint control muscles.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine differences in ankle joint muscles' electromyographic activities at different instability levels of unstable surfaces in order to provide a scientific basis for unstable surface training. [Subjects and Method] Sixty healthy adult males and females participated in the present study, and they were equally and randomly assigned to a 2.0 psi group, a 1.5 psi group, and a 1.0 psi group. The subjects were instructed to take a standing posture on a 13 inch diameter rubber air disc inflated at different air pressure for 15 seconds. While the participants maintained their standing posture, the EMG signals of the tibialis anterior, the peroneus longus, and the medial gastrocnemius of the dominant lower limb were recorded to assess the muscle activities.[Results] The muscle activity of the tibialis anterior was the highest at 1.0 psi and showed significant differences from its muscle activities at 1.5 psi and 2.0 psi. The muscle activities of the peroneus longus and the medial gastrocnemius were highest at 1.0 psi and showed significant differences from the muscle activities at 2.0 psi. At all the pressures, the muscle activity of the tibialis anterior was the highest and that of the medial gastrocnemius was the lowest, although the differences were not statistically significant. [Conclusion] The results of the present study show that to trigger the co-contraction of all muscles involved in ankle joint stability, 1.0 psi or lower instability should be provided.

“…Um fator que pode explicar o incremento na estabilidade, tanto em atletas quanto em quem não pratica atividades físicas, é que exercícios proprioceptivos estimulam a atividade dos músculos do tornozelo. Conforme mostrado no estudo de Braun Ferreira et al 22 , em que 25 atletas sem lesão melhoraram a ativação dos músculos tibiais, fibular longo e gastrocnêmios após exercícios em superfícies instáveis. Da mesma forma, o trabalho de Oliveira et al 23 treinaram dez indivíduos saudáveis e fisicamente ativos utilizando disco de Freeman e balancim, a fim de avaliar a ativação de reto femoral e tibial anterior.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: O tornozelo é a articulação que sofre mais lesões tanto na vida diária quanto na prática de esportes, especialmente em praticantes de voleibol, que exige movimentos bruscos. Um menor risco de lesão está ligado à estabilidade articular do tornozelo, que pode ser adquirida através de treinamentos proprioceptivos, utilizados para reabilitação e para prevenção de lesões. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito de um treinamento proprioceptivo para tornozelo por meio do Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) em estudantes sedentárias e comparar com resultados obtidos com o mesmo treinamento em atletas do voleibol. Métodos: Onze estudantes sedentárias sem histórico de lesões nos membros inferiores participaram de um treinamento proprioceptivo para os tornozelos, durante quatro semanas. As estudantes foram avaliadas por meio do SEBT antes e após o protocolo de treinamento de propriocepção. Após obtenção das médias pré e pós-teste, foram analisadas intragrupo e comparadas com um banco de dados de estudo que utilizou metodologia idêntica, porém com atletas de voleibol. Resultados: Para a comparação de médias de ambos os tornozelos pré e pós-intervenção das estudantes foi utilizado o teste t pareado. Para comparar os resultados das estudantes com os das atletas foi utilizado o teste t independente. Adotou-se 5% (p ≤ 0,05) como nível de significância e as análises foram realizadas no programa SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) versão 18. Os resultados no teste SEBT das estudantes pré e pós-intervenção mostraram diferença significativa em três direções para o tornozelo direito e em quatro direções para o esquerdo. As diferenças entre as estudantes e as atletas foram significativas para duas direções no tornozelo direito e para três no esquerdo. Conclusão: Treinar a propriocepção é eficaz para aumentar a estabilidade tanto de sedentários quanto de atletas, indicando ser um importante meio de prevenção a futuras lesões.Descritores: avaliação; propriocepção; tornozelo. ABSTRACT Introduction: The ankle is the most frequently injured joint both in daily life and in sports, especially in volleyball players that require sudden movements of the joint. A lower risk of injury is connected to
