Ankle Instability
During an ankle sprain, the ligaments can be stretched or torn. If the injury doesn’t heal properly or was not rehabilitated completely, it can lead to a condition called chronic ankle instability.
About 20 percent of acute ankle sprain patients develop this condition. Participating in activities that involve the ankle—such as ballet, gymnastics, basketball, or football—can lead to chronic ankle instability. Additionally, those who suffer from repeated ankle sprains are at an increased risk.
