To determine if the height of a basketball shoe alters the maximal inversion and eversion moment that can be actively resisted by the ankle in the frontal plane, we tested 20 healthy, young adult men with no recent ankle injuries. Subjects underwent unipedal functional ankle strength testing under weightbearing conditions at 0 degrees, 16 degrees, and 32 degrees of ankle plantar flexion using a specially designed testing apparatus. Testing was performed with the subject wearing either a low- or a three quarter-top basketball shoe. Shoe height did not significantly affect an individual's ability to actively resist an eversion moment at any angle of ankle plantar flexion. However, tests at 0 degrees of ankle plantar flexion demonstrated that the three quarter-top basketball shoe we tested significantly increased the maximal resistance to an inversion moment by 29.4%. At 16 degrees of ankle plantar flexion, inversion resistance was also significantly improved by 20.4%. These results show that athletic shoe height can significantly increase the active resistance to an inversion moment in moderate ankle plantar flexion. The findings apply to a neutral foot position in the frontal plane, an orientation equivalent to the early phase of a potential ankle sprain.
为了确定篮球鞋的高度是否会改变踝关节在额状面能够主动抵抗的最大内翻和外翻力矩，我们对20名近期无踝关节损伤的健康年轻男性进行了测试。受试者使用专门设计的测试仪器，在负重条件下，于踝关节跖屈0度、16度和32度时进行单足功能性踝关节力量测试。测试时受试者穿着低帮或四分之三帮篮球鞋。在踝关节跖屈的任何角度，鞋的高度均未显著影响个体主动抵抗外翻力矩的能力。然而，在踝关节跖屈0度时的测试表明，我们测试的四分之三帮篮球鞋使最大内翻力矩阻力显著增加了29.4%。在踝关节跖屈16度时，内翻阻力也显著提高了20.4%。这些结果表明，运动鞋的高度可显著增加踝关节在中度跖屈时对内翻力矩的主动抵抗。这些发现适用于额状面的中立足部位置，这一方向等同于潜在踝关节扭伤的早期阶段。
