Whenever you have a sport which has people specializing in one injury from that sport, that should tell you something. They’re located in places like Vail, because the injury is that common. There are actual centers who specialize in skiers, specifically torn ACLs. It’s not a coincidence skiers, with these high ankle fixations, commonly injure their knees. However, when our knee juts inward or outward, that’s usually a sprain, or some kind of tear. ![]() If that doesn’t roll, then it might be the knee. If we prevent the lower and higher ankle from rolling, then we might cause the lower shin to roll (break our leg). If we prevent the lower ankle from rolling, then we might cause the higher ankle to roll. > You may be reminded of high school physics and the conservation of energy. You can only move the location it acts through. You can’t avoid the energy which comes with say, landing on someone else’s foot. (Common in football.)Īll but insuring our ankle doesn’t move. Not only is it more specific as the taping is tailored to your anatomy, but taping tends to go higher and is more encompassing than bracing.īut taping will go at least as high, and all around the ankle. At some stage, typically by college, taping sets in.Where you head to CVS or Dick’s and pick up something. They don’t feel stable, or they have a bigger injury. The athlete still is more likely to roll the ankle. Higher topped shoe, one way or another, doesn’t get the job done.Because ankle injuries are rarely rehabbed properly, the sprain happens again. Play enough sports and eventually you sprain an ankle. They’re hoping the material will be strong enough to do what a brace or tape can do: prevent the roll from going too far. Especially if they have ankle problems, they’ll tie them as tightly as they can. This is what people are trying to do with higher topped shoes. This way if the ankle rolls, the tape pulls the ankle back out of the roll. So one trait you’ll see with taping is the tape will start rather high, connecting way down. One way or another, we’re trying to block the ankle from being able to do this, ![]()
