Ankle sprains result in pain and disability. While factors such as body mass prior injury contribute to subsequent injury, the association of number ankle on anthropometrics self-reported function are unclear this population. Therefore, purpose investigation was assess differences anthropometric measurements between utilizing a large, pooled data set.Cross-sectional.Data were from 14 studies (total N = 412) collected by Chronic Instability Outcomes Network. Participants categorized sprains. Anthropometric compared those who reported single versus >1 sprain well among groups had 1, 2, 3, 4, ≥5 sprains, respectively.Those higher (P .001, d 0.33) index .002, 0.32) lower Foot Ability Measure-Activities Daily Living < r .22), Measure-Sport .33), Cumberland Tool .34) scores group. Those weighed less than .008, 0.42) 2 .031, 0.45).Some individuals with history multiple disability sprain, that likely interrelated. Due potential for long-term health concerns associated clinicians should incorporate patient education interventions promote physical activity, healthy dietary intake, optimize part comprehensive patient-centered care.
