Description

Symposium#2: New ideas for preventing sport-related ankle inversion sprains.Background & Relevance: Ankle sprain is very common in sports. Multiple ankle sprains may lead to chronic ankle instability, therefore, besides working on the treatment and rehabilitation modalities after ankle sprain injury, it is also worth to work on injury prevention to prevent the occurrence of ankle sprain injury.
Injury prevention strategies can be classified into warm-up exercise,  prophylactic devices, exercise intervention, proprioception training, and change of game rules. In this symposium, the speakers will present some new ideas to prevent ankle sprain injury by reducing floor friction, neuromuscular training, improving peroneal muscle reaction time, as well as training pre-landing muscle contraction.
