Factors relevant to the decision to wear an ankle brace include the type of brace, age of the athlete, type of shoe, level of competition, previous ankle sprains and medical history of the athlete. Generally speaking, an ankle brace can help to decrease the severity of a sprain &#8230; a twist that would normally have caused a grade 3 sprain will often be reduced to a grade 2 sprain. Even better, an ankle brace may preclude the mildest grade 1 sprain from happening at all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-3541\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-3541\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Do ankle braces weaken your leg muscles? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3541\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e19b267 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e19b267\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-718a48a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"718a48a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There\u2019s absolutely no evidence that wearing an ankle brace for just volleyball (NOT 24 hours\/day, 7 days\/week) will weaken the muscles around your ankle or leg\u2026 That being said, it is very important to strengthen your ankle, leg, thigh, hip and core muscles and do proprioceptive exercises (through the diligent use of a wobble board, Bosu ball or the like) to keep your muscles strong and further decrease the risk of ankle sprains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-3542\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-3542\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Will wearing ankle braces make my knee more susceptible to injury? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3542\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cce3b0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0cce3b0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a672b94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a672b94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The type of ankle brace is important&#8230;any ankle brace that really \u201clocks\u201d the ankle joint and is very stiff (high lace up rigid brace) can possibly transfer forces and loads up the biomechanical chain to the knee and increase injury risk.
