• Lead Sponsor: University of Salamanca

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Motor control group	Experimental Group	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.
Control	Control Group	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

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Presence of Myofascial trigger points	At the beginning and at 9 months	Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed.
Range of motion	At the beginning and at 9 months	Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint
Speed of contraction of the musculature	At the beginning and at 9 months	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
Musculature Strength	At the beginning and at 9 months	Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests
