As reported by the Denver Nuggets Training Room, a sprained ankle is the most prevalent problems for NBA players. And examining the latest list of injured players, it starts to be obvious. Ankle sprains are more common than any other individual sports injury, even more common if the injuries are included with the discomfort of the ankle.
In May 2012, on the latest injured list are five serious ankle injuries. Semih Erden of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Brook Lopez of the New Jersey Nets, Luke Ridnour of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and Hassan Whiteside of the Sacramento Kings are all losing game time to sprained ankles.
Additionally, many players were on the bench due to nonspecific discomfort, presumably with earlier injuries.
The most common ankle sprain, within both the NBA and everyday living, is the inversion sprain. It is when the bottom of the foot twists inward (toward the other foot) and stretches the ankle outer connective tissue. Other types of sprains include eversion sprain plus the high ankle sprain. They are each less frequent. An eversion sprain is where the sole of the foot twists outward, or the ankle twists in while the bottom of the foot bends towards the outside. A high ankle sprain is a sprain to the junction the spot that the two bones of the lower leg meet.
Sprains are normally stopped with the next few procedures.
First, it's important that the athlete fortify and condition the muscle around the ankle. This includes adequate loosening up and stretching before a game.
Second, the right shoes are absolutely necessary. Without the right shoes, the feet are prone to more slippage and flexing.
Third, the ankle is bandaged utilizing athletic tape before a game. The wrapping offers more support and sensation to let the athlete to know whenever the joint is bending too far.
