The purpose of this study was to compare visuomotor reaction time (VMRT) in collegiate athletes based on ankle sprain history. Participants included athletes with ankle sprain history (n = 18) and athletes with no ankle sprain history (n = 33). Participants completed an upper-extremity VMRT task which was comprised of eight wireless light-emitting diode sensors. The difference between reaction time (sec) and the number of "Hits" and "Misses" were compared between groups. The ankle sprain history group had significantly slower VMRT compared to the no ankle sprain history group with moderate effect sizes. However, there was no difference in the number of "Hits" or "Misses" between groups, despite observing moderate effect sizes. This result suggests that VMRT may be a potential target for prevention and rehabilitation strategies in individuals with ankle sprains. However, further research is needed to better understand the role of VMRT on the risk of ankle sprains.
本研究旨在比较有踝关节扭伤史的大学生运动员的视动反应时 (VMRT)。参与者包括有踝关节扭伤史的运动员 (n=18) 和无踝关节扭伤史的运动员 (n=33)。参与者完成了一项上肢 VMRT 任务，该任务由八个无线发光二极管传感器组成。比较了两组之间反应时间 (秒) 和“命中”和“未命中”次数的差异。有踝关节扭伤史的组与无踝关节扭伤史的组相比，VMRT 明显较慢，具有中等的效应大小。然而，尽管观察到中等的效应大小，但两组之间的“命中”或“未命中”次数没有差异。这一结果表明，VMRT 可能是预防和康复策略在踝关节扭伤患者中的潜在目标。然而，需要进一步的研究来更好地理解 VMRT 在踝关节扭伤风险中的作用。
