Unique Considerations for Foot and Ankle Injuries in the Female Athlete

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Ankle sprains are extremely common in female athletes, and prevention programs should focus on functional neuromuscular control to improve joint position sense, kinaesthesia, and joint force sense. The lower leg, foot, and ankle make up approximately 40% of dance injuries, and the lifetime incidence of injury is 90% in the dancer. The Female Athlete Triad consists of low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density. It places the female athlete at an increased risk of stress fractures in the foot and ankle.
