Abstract

Lateral ankle sprains are a prevalent and diverse injury, but unfortunately, in previous studies, there are few clear guidelines for categorized patient groups to face it. So, this article aims to present a comprehensive guide for specific patient groups to make right the decisions when facing the problem of lateral ankle sprain by comparing and analyzing epidemiology, prevention, and treatment strategies of lateral ankle sprain. Risking factors are revealed in Epidemiological studies. The advantages and disadvantages of prevention strategies including taping & bracing, shoe design, and exercise programs are discussed. And surgical and conservative treatments are compared. For suggestions, athletes should apply a balanced approach involving taping, bracing, exercise programs, and surgical options. Non-athlete individuals engaging in sports activities should make their prevention and treatment choices based on their functional demands. Those less sport-inclined can employ few preventions and choose more conservative treatments.
