Chronic ankle instability (CAI) has been considered a neurophysiological condition, with dysfunctional somatosensory and motor system excitability. However, few researchers have explored the changes in cortical activation during balance tasks of patients with CAI. To compare the cortical activity during single-legged stance among CAI, copers, and uninjured control participants and to compare dynamic balance across groups. Cross-sectional study. Biomechanics laboratory. A total of 22 participants with CAI (median [interquartile range]; age = 34.5 [11.0] years, height = 170.0 [15.8] cm, mass = 67.0 [16.2] kg), 17 copers (age = 27.0 [14.0] years, height = 170.0 [9.5] cm, mass = 66.5 [16.5] kg), and 21 uninjured control participants (age = 25.0 [10.5] years, height = 170.0 [11.0] cm, mass = 64.0 [16.5] kg). Participants performed single-legged stance while cortical activation was tested with functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The peak oxyhemoglobin response of the activated cortex was calculated and compared across groups. The Y-Balance test outcomes and patient-reported outcomes were assessed and compared across groups. The CAI group had worse Y-balance test and patient-reported outcomes than the coper and uninjured control groups. Differences in the peak oxyhemoglobin response were observed for the primary somatosensory cortex (S1; F 2,57 = 4.347, P =.017, η p 2 = 0.132) and superior temporal gyrus (STG; F 2,57 = 4.548, P =.015, η p 2 = 0.138). Specifically, copers demonstrated greater activation in S1 and STG than the CAI (d = 0.73, P =.034, and d = 0.69, P =.043, respectively) and uninjured control (d = 0.77, P =.036, and d = 0.88, P =.022, respectively) groups. No differences were found in the cortical activation between CAI and uninjured control participants. Copers displayed greater cortical activation in S1 and STG than CAI and uninjured control participants. Greater activation in S1 and STG suggested a better ability to perceive somatosensory stimuli and may represent a compensatory mechanism that allows copers to maintain good functional ability after the initial severe ankle sprain.
