Abstract
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries identified in athletics, the military, and hospital emergency rooms. A significant number of patients report injury recurrence, residual symptoms, ankle instability, and functional loss associated with a single acute sprain. Identifying modifiable risk factors for sustaining ankle sprains is essential to develop effective injury-prevention strategies. A contributing factor of recurrent ankle instability has been proposed to be delayed peroneal reaction time in response to ankle perturbations. There is also the possibility that this is a risk factor associated with sustaining initial ankle sprains. Language: en
