The precision, accuracy and anticipation of stabilization must be so well programmed into the nervous system that peak stability is happening before contact with the ground. This is referred to pre-activation and is associated with a faster time to stabilization.
The opposite of pre-activation stabilization is reactive stabilization and is how many - if not most - of our patients or clients in general are moving. When we think of the rate of neuromuscular coordination even a small delay (think milliseconds) will result in tonic (exaggerated) muscle contractions, micro-instability and inefficient loading responses eventually leading to neuromuscular fatigue and connective tissue injury.

Time to Stabilization & Injury Risk
By Dr. Emily Splichal
Why is rapid stabilization so important?
During dynamic movement such as walking, running or jumping the ability to rapidly load and unload impact forces requires a baseline of stabilization. With a rate of impact forces coming in at < 50 ms during walking and < 20 ms during running it is no wonder the rate of stabilization must be fast!
To put this a little bit more in perspective. Our fast twitch muscle fibers don't reach their peak contraction till about 50 - 70ms. So if impact is coming in at rate < 20 ms during running and your hip / knee / ankle and foot are not already stable before you strike the ground - it is too late! It physiologically is not possible to react to impact and stabilize fast enough.
A client or athlete who is reacting to impact forces will often present with ITB syndrome, runner's knee, peroneal tendinitis, stress fractures, shin splints - and that's just naming a few!
