Braces for Prevention of Sports Injuries

The American Journal of Sports Medicine just came out with a study that shows that there is a reduction in the incidence of ankle injuries when using ankle braces as a method for the prevention of sports injuries.  This study was done on high school football players, but it could have relevance to any type of sports, including soccer, running, tennis, etc.  


Ankle Braces Help Prevent Sports Injuries

The study included 2,081 players from 50 high schools, and it was concluded that players who used ankle braces had a lower incidence of acute ankle injuries than the control group that was not wearing ankle braces.
