Brief Summary

Ankle sprains have always been considered as isolated injury entities, in which the passive ankle stabilisation system suffered an elongation due to trauma. Today, this concept of an isolated injury has evolved into a more holistic concept, interrelated with various components from different sources.

Conditions

Ankle Sprains; Motor Disorders

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Range of motion

  Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint

  At the beginning and at 9 months

• Musculature Strength

  Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests

  At the beginning and at 9 months

• Presence of Myofascial trigger points

  Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed.

  At the beginning and at 9 months

• Speed of contraction of the musculature

  By means of the isokinetic tests and the aforementioned exploratory curves, the speed of contraction of the musculature of the back of the leg and foot will be evaluated

  At the beginning and at 9 months

Study Arms (2)

Motor control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca. The study will be carried out in 20 sessions. As for the proprioception and balance work, a simple proposal of exercises will be made, increasing the difficulty from the fifth session onwards. From the 10th session onwards, unstable surfaces will be introduced as long as our athletes are capable of achieving the task of less complexity. If it is not possible to progress in intensity, the same level will be maintained.

Other: Experimental Group

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca. These participants shall carry out their usual treatment
