Inversion Ankle Sprain Injuries
The purpose of this paper is to review several studies on the inversion ankle sprain injuries in order to understand what happens during an ankle sprain. The studies that are reviewed are focused on the injury assessment, predictive /causing factors, kinematics of the ankle injury, and long term outcomes. It’s concluded that inversion ankle sprains are much more complicated than they seem. Some people are more prone to ankle injuries due to their foot structure. The amount of the damage to the ligaments varies depending on the injury, the symptoms of which can last for long periods of time.
