AB Background: The ankle joint plays a key role in stabilizing the lower limb during interactionwith ground reaction forces. Instability can result in pain, weakness, and impairedmovement. Although assessing ankle stability is important, few studies examine existingin vivo methodologies for dynamic load assessment, limiting effective injury management.Objective: To identify in vivo techniques using objective measurement tools for assessingankle stability during dynamic exercise. Methods: A scoping review was performed basedon PRISMA-ScR criteria. Five databases—PubMed, PEDro, Embase, SPORTDiscus, andCDSR—were searched from inception to September 2024. Results: Out of 1678 records,32 studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 1142 subjects were included: 293 females(25.6%), 819 males (71.7%), and 30 unspecified (2.62%). Six categories of dynamic exercisewere identified: analytical, functional, balance, stair climbing, running, and walking. Thetechniques used included 3D motion capture, force and pressure platforms, dynamometry,electromyography, accelerometers, pressure and speed sensors, instrumented treadmills,and inertial measurement units. Conclusions: The 3D motion capture systems (240 Hz)and the force platforms (1000 Hz) were most frequently used in functional tasks andwalking. Combining these with multisegmented foot models appears optimal, thoughtool selection depends on study goals. This review enhances our understanding of anklestability assessment.
