When I finally was able to get to rehab, the strength in my right ankle was at 60% of my left ankle. They made me run the test twice they were so surprised. It turns out jumping off the same leg for 12 years creates a huge imbalance. When I finished rehab and retested my right side was 175% as strong as my left 16 weeks post injury.
Yes. My point is not that injuries cannot create muscle imbalance, it's simply this. A muscle imbalance cannot be a contributing factor in an injury that occurred prior to the muscle imbalance AND experts in the field know this.
