BACKGROUND: Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) demonstrate altered gait mechanics, impaired proprioception, and decreased postural control. In addition, individuals with CAI have been found to have complex neurophysiological changes, including during dual-task perturbations. However, the results of studies on whether cognitive tasks affect postural control are inconclusive. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do individuals with CAI have worse dual-task performance compared to healthy controls? METHODS: We searched 4 electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and SPORTDiscus) from inception to October 2022...
