ANKLE SPRAIN IN SPORTS

ANKLE JOINT ANATOMY The Ankle Joint Consists Of Three Joints: The Talocrural Joint, Subtalar Joint And The Distal Tibiofibular Joint. The Movements Produced At This Joint Are Dorsiflexion, Plantar Flexion, Inversion And Eversion Of The Foot. The Ankle Joint Is Bound By The Strong Deltoid Ligament And Three Lateral Ligaments: The Anterior Talofibular Ligament, The Calcaneofibular Ligament And The Pos Terior Talof Ibular Ligament. The Functions Of The Ligaments Are To Limit Extreme Motion Of The Ankle, And To Provide Support And Stabilize The Joint. Epidemiology And Mechanism Of Ankle Sprain  There Are Two Types Of Ankle Sprain:      1. LATERAL ANKLE SPRAIN AND     2. MEDIAL ANKLE SPRAIN.  The Lateral Sprain , Also Known As The Inversion Ankle Sprain, Is The Most Common Type Of Ankle Sprains. Approximately 70-85% Of Ankle Sprain Is The Inversion Sprain. When The Ankle Is Inverted Too Much, The Lateral Ligament Is Placed On The Lengthening Position. In This Situation The L

In Running, There Is An Important Concept We Need To Know Called The “Gait Cycle”. This Starts When One Foot Makes Contact With The Ground, And Ends When That Same Foot Touches The Ground Again. It Can Be Divided Into Two Phases: The Stance Phase (During Which The Foot Is In Contact With The Ground), And The Swing Phase (During Which The Foot Is Not In Contact With The Ground), And Each Phase Is Made Up Of Several Components. THE STANCE PHASE CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE STAGES: Initial Contact  In This Stage, The Heel Strikes The Ground And The Leg Decelerates For Contact. The Tibialis Anterior Muscle Hold The Foot In Position When The Contact Occurs. Meanwhile The Gluteus Maximus Muscle Decelerates The Leg And The Quadriceps Muscle Extends The Knee, Holding The Leg Straight And Stable.  Mid-Stance  During The Mid-Stance, The Body Weight Shifts To One Foot. The Knee Is Extended And Stabilized By The Quadriceps And Calf Muscles. At The Same Time The Gluteus Medius Muscle Stabi
