Figures & data

Figure 1. Screenshot sequence of the lateral ankle sprain. The pictures show initial ground contact (1), foot placement after sliding at 20 ms (2), the course of injury at 105 and 155 ms (3,4), maximum joint distortion at 195 ms (5), recovery and second foot touching the force plate at 255 ms (6).
