•Tibiotalar and subtalar kinematics were studied.•Individuals with ankle instability exhibited increased subtalar inversion.•Ankle brace reduced subtalar inversion when walking on an inverted surface. As in vivo tibiotalar and subtalar joint kinematics are not currently known following the applicati...
