Abstract:
Two thousand five hundred and sixty-two participants in a college intramural basketball program were studied during two successive intramural "seasons" with regard to the frequency of ankle and knee sprains, as related to the use of external ankle support. The influence on injury rates of high- and low-top shoes and the use of prophylactic ankle taping were examined, and an additional group of players was supported with a disposable elastic material during the second season of study. The use of both high-top shoes and prophylactic ankle taping appeared to decrease the frequency of ankle sprains. This decrease was particularly marked in those subjects who had suffered previous ankle sprains. The size of the additional group was too small to permit valid comparisons. No increase in the frequency of occurrence of knee sprains was observed to result from the use of high-top shoes and/or prophylactic ankle taping.Keywords:

Ankle injury is common in football, but the circumstances surrounding them are not well characterised.To investigate the rates, especially time-trends, and circumstances of ankle injuries in male professional football.27 European clubs with 1743 players were followed prospectively between 2001/2002 and 2011/2012. Time loss injuries and individual-player exposure during training sessions and matches were recorded. Injury rate was defined as the number of injuries/1000 h.A total of 1080 ankle injuries were recorded (13% of all injuries) with lateral ligament ankle sprain being the most common injury subtype (51% of all ankle injuries). The rates of ankle injury and ankle sprain were 1/1000 h and 0.7/1000 h, respectively. The ankle sprain rate declined slightly over time during the 11-year study period (on average 3.1%/season) with a statistically significant seasonal trend (p=0.041). Foul play according to the referee was involved in 40% of the match-related ankle sprains. Syndesmotic sprains and ankle impingement were uncommon causes of time loss (3% each of all ankle injuries).Lateral ligament ankle sprain constituted half of all ankle injuries in male professional football, whereas ankle impingement syndromes were uncommon. The ankle sprain rate decreased slightly over time, but many ankle sprains were associated with foul play. Our data extend the body of literature that provides football policy makers with a foundation to review existing rules and their enforcement.

Ankle sprain injuries are the most common type of joint sprain. The prevalence of ankle joint sprains accounts for 21% of joint injuries in the body. Although somewhat rare, high-ankle or syndesmotic ankle sprains occur in up to 15% of ankle trauma. This article will present the pathomechanics of the high-ankle or syndesmotic sprain.

Objective To investigate the ankle injury situation of officers and soldiers in the 5 km cross-country armed training and its related influence factors.Methods 827 officers and soldiers accepted 5 km armed cross-country training from January 2010 to December 2011 were selected as research objects,then the number of ankle injuries,location,influence factors and the partial correlation coefficient among these factors were investigated and analyzed.Results Among 827 officers and soldiers,the right ankle injury rate was the highest and it was 9.07%.The rate of ankle injury in officers and soldiers with insufficient preparation and less training times were 26.01% and 26.67%,which were higher than others(P ￡? 0.05).The fatigue degree of officers and soldiers with ankle injury was 4.9857 points,it was higher than that without ankle injury(P ￡? 0.05).The factors of preparation situation,training methods and means,training times and individual differences were related to the ankle injury(all P ￡? 0.05).Conclusion The right ankle injury is the main injury of 827 officers and soldiers induced by 5 km armed cross-country training,while,the factors of preparation situation,training methods and means,training times and individual differences are related to ankle injury.
