Effectiveness of Stabilization Exercise in Youth Basketball Players With Ankle Sprain

Injury, Ankle Clinical Trial

Official title: Effectiveness of Stabilization Exercise in Youth Basketball Players With Ankle Sprain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Ankle injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries account for 10% to 30% of all injuries and 5% to 20% of all time-wasting injuries. Athletes involved in sports such as football, basketball, and volleyball are particularly at risk for such injuries, largely due to the running and jumping activities involved. Basketball has one of the highest injury rates of any team sport, with 10 injuries in a 1000 hour period.

Clinical Trial Description

The ankle is anatomically strong because of the structure of the bones and ligature that make it. Despite this, ankle injuries are the most common type of injury in sports injuries due to the stress and impact of athletes. It is estimated that 25% of the injuries occurred were ankle injuries. Approximately 85% of ankle injuries are lateral ankle sprain. In basketball, ankle sprain is the most common type of injury. This is because repeated jumps, landings and sudden changes of direction in the nature of basketball. Due to degeneration in the bond structure as a result of ankle sprained, balance problems are also seen in athletes. Therefore, it is important that athletes evaluate the jump performance. In order to better understand the type and severity of injury of athletes, it is necessary to assess not only the physical characteristics but also the anxiety of physical activity and the relationship between this anxiety and injury, as fear of moving in athletes can develop as physical and psychological maturity is not developed enough during the pub period. The fear of moving can negatively affect the healing phases of the injured athlete, or even delay healing. Plyometric training has been proven to improve muscle strength and power production. In addition, regular exercise can lead to significant improvements in postural control, jumping, sprinting, diversion speed and agility performance in young basketball players. Fear of re-injury is the fear of being vulnerable to painful re-injury even though physical recovery has been achieved. This situation also has an effect on psychological changes such as movements to protect the muscles, insecurity and focusing problems in the physiologically injured area. Studies show that fear of re-injury also influences muscle activation patterns, influencing muscle recovery, neuromuscular function, and rehabilitation outcomes. As a result, this delays the return to sports. ;
