New Technology for Objective Assessment of Chronic Ankle Instability

Get quantitative measurements to improve balance assessments.

Time-to-Boundary (TTB) is a validated spatiotemporal measurement tool that estimates the time an individual has to make postural corrections to maintain balance. Learn more about TTB and how you can use it to objectively assess and manage chronic ankle instability.  

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.
