According to the results of a recent study published in Foot & Ankle International (FAI), the official journal of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS), people who suffered an ankle sprain while playing youth sports had more pain and symptoms 3-15 years later, including poor function, reduced sport participation, poor balance, and fear of pain, when compared to uninjured participants. This study highlights the need to promote ankle sprain prevention in youth sports.
