Injuries and exposures were defined based on established National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System criteria. Injury rate was calculated as the number of injuries per 1000 exposures. The National Collegiate Athletic Association female volleyball injury data from 1998 to 2005 were used for comparison.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study period, there were a total of 13 500 exposures and 1 injury in our group yielding an injury rate of 0.07 per 1000 exposures. Nearly half of our athletes had a preparticipation history of ankle sprains, yet only 1 ankle injury occurred during all of our braced exposures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 811 710 exposures and 797 injuries in the National Collegiate Athletic Association comparison group with an increased injury rate of 0.98 per 1000 exposures ( P = .001). Prophylactic use of a double-upright ankle brace significantly reduced the ankle injury rate compared with that reported by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. From these data, it appears that the use of such a brace is an effective way to decrease the incidence of ankle injuries in this active but vulnerable group of athletes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546507308358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,5]],"date-time":"2007-11-05T20:53:59Z","timestamp":1194296039000},"page":"324-327","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Prophylactic Bracing Decreases Ankle Injuries in Collegiate Female Volleyball Players"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"David I.","family":"Pedowitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Crystal Run Healthcare, Middletown, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudheer","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Selene G.","family":"Parekh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina"},{"name":"Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
