Background An ankle sprain is an injury to the tough bands of tissue (ligaments) that
surround and connect the bones of the leg to the foot. Wrench or twist the ligaments
(of an ankle, wrist, or other joint) violently to cause pain and swelling but not
dislocation. A sprain, also known as a torn ligament, is damage to one or
more ligaments in a joint, often caused by trauma or the joint being taken beyond its
functional range of motion. The severity of sprain ranges from a minor injury which
resolves in a few days to a major rupture of one or more ligaments requiring surgical
fixation and a period of immobilization. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to
explore the clinical feature, functionality and quality of life among cricketers having
ankle sprain. Objectives:To find out the clinical feature, functionality and quality of
life among cricketers having ankle sprain in BKSP. Methodology: A cross sectional
study was chosen to conduct this study and as appropriate to achieve the
aims.Results:The study showed that among 50 participant most of the players
experience moderate pain, moderate stiffness and the presence of swelling is
rare.The study also showed that the result where most of the player loss moderate
functional ability and mild quality of life during ankle sprain. There is significant
difference in pain between male and female in case of increasing. Conclusion:More
research should now be undertaken on sports related injuries of the cricketers, with an
emphasis on larger sample sizes and response rate to be able to generalize the results
and conclusions.
Key words: Sport injury, Ankle Sprain, Cricketers, Clinical feature , Functionality,
