Lateral ankle sprains are among the most common sports-related injury, 1 including in collegiate athletes. 2 , 3 Lateral ankle sprains are associated with numerous negative outcomes, including increased risk of subsequent sprain 4 and posttraumatic osteoarthritis, 5 as well as decreased quality
Residual Impairments and Activity Limitations at Return to Play from a Lateral Ankle Sprain
Ryan McCann, Kyle Kosik, Masafumi Terada, and Phillip Gribble
Key Points • Patients with a lateral ankle sprain often sustain recurrent injuries after return to play. • Impairments and activity limitation persist beyond return to play from a lateral ankle sprain. • It remains unknown how these outcomes contribute to recurrent lateral ankle sprains. Athletic
Assessment of Ankle Joint Laxity After an Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain: An Exploration Clinical CASE Series
Gabrielle Stubblefield, Jeffrey Tilly, and Kathy Liu
Key Points ▸ Changes in joint laxity across the six patients followed occurred throughout the acute and subacute stages after a no time lost (NTL) lateral ankle sprain when compared to a preinjury baseline assessment. ▸ Increased joint laxity was noted in all patients after NTL ankle sprains
The Effectiveness of Deep Oscillation Therapy on Reducing Swelling and Pain in Athletes With Acute Lateral Ankle Sprains

ankle sprains. However, very little evidence has been produced regarding the clinical effectiveness of deep oscillation therapy, limiting its application in therapeutic rehabilitation of acute lateral ankle sprains. Clinical Question Is deep oscillation therapy effective in reducing pain and swelling in

Clinical Scenario Acute lateral ankle sprains (LASs) are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries 1 and are a pathology frequently encountered by clinicians. 1 Suffering a LAS may lead to chronic pain complications 2 for patients, which
Lack of Consensus on Return-to-Sport Criteria Following Lateral Ankle Sprain: A Systematic Review of Expert Opinions
Erik A. Wikstrom, Cole Mueller, and Mary Spencer Cain
Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are the most common injuries in sport 1 – 4 and the military 5 , 6 and are extremely common among the general public. 7 In 2010, LAS resulted in excess of $1.1 billion in health care charges from emergency departments in the United States alone. 7 Despite this volume
