Abstract :This study aimed to determine static postural stability between individuals with ankle sprain injuries and ACL reconstruction. Thirty subjects insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(74.10±8.82 kg, 180.05±7.64 cm 19.94±2.18 yr); were divided into three groups which include ACL-R insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=10);, ankle sprain insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=10); and healthy individuals insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=10);. Subjects were required to balance on a single leg and remain motionless for 30s on an emed platform. The results were compared by center of pressure sway insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cop);, average velocity of COP and excursion of COP as measured by a pressure platform insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(emed-C50, novel, Germany);. The ankle sprain and ACL-R groups had greater sway area than the healthy group. In addition there were significant differences between ankle sprain, ACL-R and healthy groups in COP excursion and the average velocity of COP in all the great measures are belonged to ACL-R specially ankle sprain. This study suggested that individuals with ACL-R and ankle sprain had changes in posture stability.
