Summary

The most frequent lateral ankle sprain mechanism consists of talocrural plantarflexion added to a subtalar inversion. The anterior talofibular ligament, in plantar flexion, suffers maximum stress, being very sensitive to injury mechanisms with inversion of the foot, being the cause of up to 70% of sprains. The risk of injury recurrence must be taken into account. In sports practice, this percentage of recurrence is especially relevant.

Randomized clinical study. Participants will be randomized to a control or experimental group. The dependent variable will be the range of motion in ankle dorsiflexion. Secondary variables will be pressure pain threshold, and stability of the foot and ankle. Three evaluations will be carried out: before the start of the study (T0), after the intervention (T1) and after a 4-week follow-up period (T2). All evaluations will be performed by one evaluator, blinded to player assignment The intervention consists of the application of a treatment protocol based on an initial active warm-up consisting of 3 active exercises, walking for 1 minute performing slow and controlled movement of the ankle, raising the heels, 15 repetitions, dorsiflexion of the ankle in the standing position. gentleman, 15 reps. Subsequently, the floss band will be placed, performing again the 3 active warm-up exercises with the band on. After this, the passive manual techniques will be carried out for the remaining time, removing the flossing at the end of the latter, and actively mobilizing again.

Control

The same procedures will be carried out, but placing the flossing without tension and performing the Kaltenborn manual techniques without sliding and without joint mobilization.
