"Why do I keep spraining my ankle?" - Causes of Ankle Sprains Explained.
Last articleUNI-MAGAZINEWe have proposed several simple and effective sprain rehabilitation methods for you, and today we will explain the causes of "habitual sprains" in a straightforward manner, so that you can effectively avoid the recurrence of injuries with a better understanding.
When a joint is sprained, the surrounding ligaments are affected, and ligament strains of varying degrees of severity often accompany ankle sprains. If the ligaments are rested, repaired, and strengthened, the ankle can be restored to normal function.
However, if the ligament is sprained again before the ligament is fully repaired, the ligament will not be able to regain its original elasticity. Repeatedly, the ligament will lose its elasticity, and then its tensile strength and protective force, which will eventually lead to a decrease in ankle stability, and the ankle will become a "glass ankle," as we often call it.
In addition, the reason for repeated sprains is also related to the fact thatGeneral FeelingsRelevant.
Proprioception is simply the ability to perceive the state of the body. For example, when you hear the instruction, "Please close your eyes and touch your left ear with your right hand," you believe that you can achieve your goal without the help of vision, and this is how proprioception works.
Back to the topic, when you sprain, the proprioceptors attached to the ligaments are also damaged, and the damage will result in a decrease in proprioception in that area. A normal ankle can summon the muscles when it senses that the ankle angle is about to become overloaded to help correct the angle in time to avoid injury, but the proprioceptors are not able to sense the damage in time to prevent the injury from occurring.
But don't worry too much, we can make up for the loss of stability due to ligament laxity through peripheral muscle training, and we can also add training that helps to enhance proprioception (e.g., increasing environmental instability) to enhance the muscle's ability to perceive changes in the environment, which can effectively minimize the recurrence of injuries.
To summarize, if you have never sprained before, you can start muscle training directly to enhance stability and proprioception; however, if you have already sprained, it is important to take a cautious approach and refer it to a professional for evaluation and follow-up.
