[Purpose] This study aimed to develop a method for assessing anticipatory postural adjustments associated with voluntary movements in individuals with functional ankle instability. We examined whether the peroneus longus muscle exhibits anticipatory activation before unilateral abduction of the lower limb in individuals without disability. [Participants and Methods] Twelve healthy young adults participated in this study. Participants maintained a standing posture with 95 ± 2.5% of their weight on the left side and with the thenar of their right foot in contact with a small wooden board fixed to a force platform. Thereafter, they abducted their right lower limb by approximately 35° at maximum speed; during this time, electromyographic activities of the focal and postural muscles were recorded. [Results] The peroneus longus, external oblique, and erector spinae muscles on the left side of the body were activated before the right gluteus medius muscle, which is a focal muscle of abduction of the right lower limb. The activation timing of the left peroneus longus was the fastest among these postural muscles. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that the peroneus longus muscle plays an important role in anticipatory postural adjustments associated with unilateral abduction of the lower limb and that an ankle strategy is adopted in anticipatory postural adjustments during this task.
