Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Ankle sprains are frequent sports injuries, often underestimated by athletes and coaches.
  • Recurrence and chronic issues can significantly hinder athletic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of recurrent ankle sprains among Hong Kong Chinese athletes.
  • To assess the impact of recurrent ankle sprains on athletic performance and identify associated disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • An epidemiological study involving national, competitive, and recreational Hong Kong Chinese athletes.
  • Data collection focused on injury history, recurrence rates, and self-reported functional limitations.

Main Results:

  • 73% of surveyed athletes reported experiencing recurrent ankle sprains.
  • 59% of athletes with recurrent sprains had significant disabilities and residual symptoms.
  • Impaired athletic performance was a common consequence of these residual symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Recurrent ankle sprains represent a substantial issue within the athletic population studied.
  • Effective injury prevention programs and comprehensive rehabilitation are crucial for athletes' long-term performance and well-being.
