Effects of Center of Pressure Processing on Gait Biomechanics in People With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Technical Report

Key Points

• This report aims to clarify how processing techniques for center of pressure (COP) may affect interpretations in gait biomechanics studies related to chronic ankle instability.
• Analyzed interpretations of COP location and changes using various processing techniques.
• Examined differences in reference coordinate systems and their potential impact on results.
• Processed COP data reveals varying interpretations based on the technique used.
• Differences in processing could lead to misleading conclusions about gait biomechanics in chronic ankle instability.
