Inclusion Criteria

Amateur football players with a Grade II sprain of the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle presenting to the Vizcay Association of Football following an acute inversion injury (maximum 72 hours post injury) will be invited to take part in the study. (A Grade II sprain is defined as a partial tear of the ligaments with moderate pain, swelling and tenderness over the involved structures with some loss of motion and mild or moderate instability of the joint (Kaikkonen, Kannus, & Jarvinen, 1994)).

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded if:
1. They have a history of previous surgeries to the musculoskeletal structures (ie, bones, joint structures, nerves) in either lower extremity (Gribble et al., 2013).
2. They have a history of a fracture in either lower extremity requiring realignment (Gribble et al., 2013).
3. They have sustained an acute injury to the musculoskeletal structures of other joints of the lower extremity in the previous 3 months that have impacted joint integrity and function (ie, sprains, fractures), resulting in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity (Gribble et al., 2013).
4. They have sustained an ankle sprain in the previous 12 months from the date of the current ankle inversion injury (Green, Refshauge, Crosbie, & Adams, 2001).
