All participants also completed the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). The primary questions of interest were (1) Did the participants seek treatment from a medical professional for their initial LAS? (2) Did the participants perform rehabilitation? (3) Was the initial LAS immobilized? and (4) Did the participants use crutches? The other variables measured were scores on the FAAM and the FAAM Sports subscale, total number of ankle sprains, and incidents of giving way.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty-four percent of participants did not seek medical treatment after their LAS. Those who did not seek medical treatment scored worse on the FAAM (81.21% \u00b1 3.1% versus 89.23% \u00b1 2.8%, P = .03) and the FAAM Sports subscale (72.34% \u00b1 5.3% versus 81.26% \u00b1 3.1%, P = .001). Those not seeking treatment also reported more ankle sprains since the initial injury (4.7 \u00b1 2.4 versus 1.9 \u00b1 0.90, P = .02) and more incidents of giving way each month (3.8 \u00b1 1.9 versus 1.1 \u00b1 0.87, P = .04).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is not surprising that those who did not seek medical treatment for their LASs had worse subjective function, more ankle sprains, and more incidents of the ankle giving way. The public needs to be educated on the significance of ankle sprains and the need for medical attention to provide appropriate management. However, we also need to continue to evaluate initial management and rehabilitation to ensure that those who seek treatment receive the best care in order to reduce reinjury rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-428-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,22]],"date-time":"2019-05-22T13:43:58Z","timestamp":1558532638000},"page":"671-675","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Lack of Medical Treatment From a Medical Professional After an Ankle Sprain"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Tricia","family":"Hubbard-Turner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, University of North Carolina, Charlotte"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2020060414062521600_i1062-6050-54-6-671-b01","first-page":"311","article-title":"Epidemiology of collegiate injuries for 15 sports: summary and recommendations for injury prevention initiatives","volume":"42","author":"Hootman","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Athl Train"},{"issue":"2","key":"2020060414062521600_i1062-6050-54-6-671-b02","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.2.103","article-title":"Ankle injuries in basketball: injury rate and risk factors","volume":"35","author":"McKay","year":"2001","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"issue":"4","key":"2020060414062521600_i1062-6050-54-6-671-b03","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"995","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546516628870","article-title":"Recovery from a first-time lateral ankle sprain and the predictors of chronic ankle instability: a prospective cohort analysis","volume":"44","author":"Doherty","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"issue":"4","key":"2020060414062521600_i1062-6050-54-6-671-b04","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"324","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2007.11.018","article-title":"What is the clinical course of acute ankle sprains?
