Talar cartilage images were obtained and manually segmented to enable calculation of medial, lateral, and overall average talar thickness. The percentage change, relative to the average baseline thickness, was used for further analysis. Mechanical (ankle joint laxity) and sensorimotor (static balance and Star Excursion Balance Test) outcomes were captured. Partial correlations were computed to determine associations between cartilage deformation magnitude and the mechanical and sensorimotor outcomes after accounting for body weight.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the CAI group, greater inversion laxity was associated with greater overall (r = \u22120.42, P = .03) and medial (r = \u22120.48, P = .01) talar cartilage deformation after a 2-minute static loading protocol. Similarly, poorer medial-lateral static balance was linked with greater overall (r = 0.47, P = .01) and lateral (r = 0.50, P = .01) talar cartilage deformation. In the control group, shorter posterolateral Star Excursion Balance Test reach distance was associated with greater lateral cartilage deformation (r = 0.42, P = .03). No other significant associations were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In those with CAI, inversion laxity and poor static postural control were moderately associated with greater talar cartilage deformation after a 2-minute static loading protocol.
