Ankle Sprain
January 30th 2009 16:56
The most common ankle sprain happens when foot rolls to the outside and sprains the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The outside of the ankle swells up and throbs, and may turn black and blue around the injury. When a jogger steps gently off a curb and twists an ankle, this simply stretches the ligaments, with no real tearing and is considered mild sprain. When a Tennis player lungs out over a poorly planted foot, partially tearing the fibers of the ligament, which is considered moderate sprain. When a volleyball player jumps and lands on another player’s foot, twisting and forcing the ankle violently, most of the fibers tear and is severe sprain.
