Repetitive ankle injuries can increase ankle osteoarthritis risk

According to a study, how the foot is positioned prior to ground contact when walking or running could increase risk of ankle sprain, otherwise known as a twisted ankle.

The results of the research found that people who have a history of repetitive ankle sprain demonstrated lower clearance heights between their feet and the floor during running and pointed their toes down more during walking. A twisted ankle is the most common sports-related injury, and many who experience a twisted ankle will go on to develop chronic instability, suffering repetitive ankle sprain during their lifetime. | via
