Protecting Your Ankle During Basketball
In the sport of basketball the ankle is one part of the body that suffers the most. Moving quickly down the court, changing directions at top speeds, jumping, landing, and the occasional collision with other players means that the ankle is at risk for overextension and overuse. A twist of the ankle just a little above its range of motion can cause a painful tear or rupture of the ankle ligaments. It is these ligaments that hold the ankle in place, so when a basketball player experiences an ankle injury it usually keeps him or her out of the game.
Here are some ways that basketball players can sustain an ankle injury:
- Landing on the ankle the wrong way after jumping up for a rebound
- Stepping or landing on another basketball players' shoe
- Twisting the ankle while playing defense
- Colliding with another player during a layup
One way to help avoid these types of injuries is to make sure the ankle is properly supported and stabilized during practice and games. The DonJoy Velocity is our best ankle brace for basketball because it is designed to help improve performance, prevent injury and even provide relief from prior injury.
