Evidence suggest cooling the ankle joint facilitates soleus involuntary peak motoneuron excitability in healthy subjects has been reported. Our objective is to identify the effects of ankle joint cooling on the soleus, peroneus longus, and tibialis anterior Hoffmann reflex and isokinetic eversion and inversion torque. A repeated measures design was used to analyze Hoffmann reflex in subjects with functional ankle instability (FAI) compared to healthy, stable subjects. Baseline Hoffmann reflexes, eversion and inversion torques were collected. Following these pretest measurements a 1.5L cubed ice bag was applied to the dorsum of the foot and ankle. Hoffmann reflexes, eversion and inversion torque were collected following the ice bag application. Pre- and post-cooling data were repeated during a rest session on a subsequent day. The soleus and peroneus longus H:Mmax were facilitated following ice application in FAI subjects and healthy subjects. No statistically significant differences were observed for the tibialis anterior H:Mmax and eversion or inversion torque between the FAI group and healthy subjects.
