Static anterior ankle laxity was measured using a standardized anterior drawer loading protocol with displacement quantified at the 90\u00a0N load point. Participant-specific 3D tibia and talus models were reconstructed from MRI scans and registered to dual fluoroscopic images to calculate six-degree-of-freedom talar kinematics. Peak anterior talar translation within the first 100\u00a0ms after initial contact was extracted. Pearson correlation analysis assessed the relationship between static anterior ankle laxity and peak anterior talar translation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Static anterior ankle laxity averaged 7.79 \u00b1 1.32\u00a0mm, and peak anterior talar translation during landing was 8.93 \u00b1 1.88\u00a0mm, showing notable inter-individual variability. A significant positive correlation was observed between static anterior ankle laxity and peak anterior talar translation (r = 0.818, 95% CI 0.51\u20130.94, p &amp;lt; 0.001). Ground reaction force data confirmed typical double-peak patterns during landing, and anterior\u2013posterior translation was the primary degree of freedom.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Static anterior ankle laxity is strongly associated with anterior talar translation during high-impact landing, suggesting that passive mechanical properties of the ankle are related to dynamic bone motion.
