Ankle Braces May Help Teen Basketball Players

(Reuters Health) - The ankle braces many basketball players strap on to
prevent injuries may actually work, a study of high school players
suggests.
.
Researchers found that of the nearly 1,500 basketball players they
followed for a season, those who were assigned to wear ankle braces during
practice and games were 68 percent less likely to suffer an ankle sprain
or fracture.
.
The study, published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, looked at
the effects of "lace-up" ankle braces, which are made of synthetic fabric
and secured with Velcro.
.
They are widely used in basketball, where ankle injuries are the most
common type of injury. But there has been scant evidence that they
actually work, especially on high school players.
.
"There are advertising claims that they'll do wonderful things," said
Timothy A. McGuine, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
who led the new study.
.
On the other hand, he told Reuters Health, there have been concerns that
limiting the ankles' mobility with a brace could set basketball players up
for knee injuries, including tears of the anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL).
.
The ACL, which connects the thigh and shin bones, is often torn when the
knee suddenly twists but the foot stays planted in place.
.
But in their study, McGuine and his colleagues found no evidence of higher
knee injury risks.
.
Of the 740 players randomly assigned to wear lace-up ankle braces, 27
suffered an ankle sprain or fracture over one basketball season.
.
In contrast, there were 78 ankle injuries among the 720 teenagers who
played and practiced brace-free.

Abstract
Background:
Ankle injuries are the most common injury in basketball
players. However, no prospective studies have been performed to determine
if wearing lace-up ankle braces will reduce the incidence of ankle
injuries in high school athletes.
Purpose:
This trial was undertaken to determine if lace-up ankle braces
reduce the incidence and severity of acute first-time and recurrent ankle
injuries sustained by high school basketball players.
.

.
Conclusion: Use of lace-up ankle braces reduced the incidence but not the
severity of acute ankle injuries in male and female high school basketball
athletes both with and without a previous history of an ankle injury.
