Motor Control Prevention Strategies in Basketball Players

Motor Control Prevention Strategies for Ankle Sprains in Basketball Players

Ankle sprains have always been considered as isolated injury entities, in which the passive ankle stabilisation system suffered an elongation due to trauma. Today, this concept of an isolated injury has evolved into a more holistic concept, interrelated with various components from different sources.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Motor control group

Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca.

The study will be carried out in 20 sessions. As for the proprioception and balance work, a simple proposal of exercises will be made, increasing the difficulty from the fifth session onwards. From the 10th session onwards, unstable surfaces will be introduced as long as our athletes are capable of achieving the task of less complexity. If it is not possible to progress in intensity, the same level will be maintained.
Other: Experimental Group
Propioceptive exercises
Active Comparator: Control

Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca.

These participants shall carry out their usual treatment

Time Frame
Range of motion
Time Frame: At the beginning and at 9 months
Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint
At the beginning and at 9 months
Musculature Strength
Time Frame: At the beginning and at 9 months
Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests
At the beginning and at 9 months
Presence of Myofascial trigger points
Time Frame: At the beginning and at 9 months
Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed.
At the beginning and at 9 months
Speed of contraction of the musculature
Time Frame: At the beginning and at 9 months
By means of the isokinetic tests and the aforementioned exploratory curves, the speed of contraction of the musculature of the back of the leg and foot will be evaluated
At the beginning and at 9 months
