Abstract
Ankle sprains are common in dancers. They result from working in the positions which allow increased risk of sprain on the lateral side of the ankle for many hours a day. One hundred ankle injuries were evaluated. The mechanisms of injury are presented, as well as a classification of these injuries. The recommended treatment and rehabilitation are discussed. Leg muscle strength must be restored before rehabilitation is considered complete.Keywords
