| Context |
The lateral ankle (inversion) injury is the most ubiquitous in all of sport. The mechanical and functional instability that can result from recurrent ankle sprains can be very debilitating. A sprain is more severe than a strain or a fracture and may present a major problem to the player, trainer, coach, and physician.
