Foot & Ankle International, 03/31/10
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prophylactic ankle bracing on the incidence of ankle injuries in a high school population of interscholastic volleyball players followed prospectively for one season. This information may be helpful in deciding whether to recommend prophylactic ankle braces in volleyball players.
What this study fails to mention is that within 6 hours of prophylactic bracing of any joint, it causes muscular atrophy. Muscular atrophy of a joint causes instability of that joint, higher incident of ankle sprains off the court/field in athletes.
