Stabilometry is an objective method used for studying postural equilibrium quantitatively. Stabilometric recordings were made in 127 soccer players to demonstrate functional instability of the ankle joint. The presence of previous ankle joint injuries, i.e., sprains or fractures, was documented. Reference values for stabilometry were obtained from a group of 30 normally-active non-soccer players without a history of injury to the ankle joint. A pathological stabilometric value was defined as one exceeding the mean value of the reference group by 2 SD. In players with a history of previous ankle joint injury no increased postural sway was found. On the other hand, players showing abnormal stabilometric values ran a significantly (P less than 0.001) higher risk of sustaining an ankle injury during the following season compared to players with normal values. Players with a history of previous ankle joint injury did not run a higher risk compared to players without previous injury. The findings indicate that an ankle joint injury did not result in a persistent functional instability; however, such instability did increase the risk of ankle joint injury.
稳定测量法是一种用于定量研究姿势平衡的客观方法。对127名足球运动员进行了稳定测量记录，以证明踝关节的功能不稳定。记录了既往踝关节损伤（即扭伤或骨折）的情况。从一组30名无踝关节损伤史的正常活动非足球运动员中获得稳定测量的参考值。病理稳定测量值定义为超过参考组平均值2个标准差的值。在有既往踝关节损伤史的运动员中，未发现姿势摆动增加。另一方面，与稳定测量值正常的运动员相比，稳定测量值异常的运动员在下个赛季发生踝关节损伤的风险显著更高（P<0.001）。有既往踝关节损伤史的运动员与无既往损伤的运动员相比，风险并未更高。研究结果表明，踝关节损伤并未导致持续的功能不稳定；然而，这种不稳定确实增加了踝关节损伤的风险。
