Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common musculoskeletal injury typically attributed to deficits in single limb balance. Historically, clinicians and researchers have conducted balance assessments based on center of pressure displacement measurements, however more recently, time-to-boundary (TTB) has been utilized because of its ability to discriminate postural control deficits present in subjects with CAI.
TTB is a validated and reliable tool that you can use to evaluate CAI.
