No prophylactic ankle stabilizer performance study has been conducted to date using high school football players, ie., players who are at risk of ankle sprains. In addition, the effect that prophylactic ankle stabilizer use has on performance by player position is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a semirigid and softshell prophylactic ankle stabilizer on performance by football player position in events testing vertical jump, speed, and agility. Twenty-five high school football players participated in the study. All subjects denied any history of ankle injury within 1 year of the study and previous experience with prophylactic ankle stabilizer use. Subjects completed three tests [vertical jump, 36.56-m (40-yd) sprint, and 18.28-m (20-yd) shuttle run] under three different ankle treatments: Aircast SportStirrup, DonJoy RocketSoc, and nonbraced control. Results of the study indicated that the Aircast SportStirrup and DonJoy RocketSoc, when compared with a nonbraced control, had no significant effect on vertical jump, 36.56-m (40-yd) sprint, and 18.28-m (20-yd) shuttle run performance. Skill players had faster 36.56-m (40-yd) sprint times than strength players regardless of ankle treatment. In conclusion, the Aircast SportStirrup and DonJoy RocketSoc did not facilitate or adversely affect performance involving vertical jump, speed, and agility of high school football players.
迄今为止，尚未对高中橄榄球运动员（即有脚踝扭伤风险的运动员）进行预防性脚踝稳定器性能研究。此外，使用预防性脚踝稳定器对不同球员位置的表现产生的影响尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定半刚性和软壳预防性脚踝稳定器对高中橄榄球运动员在垂直跳跃、速度和敏捷性测试项目中不同位置表现的影响。25名高中橄榄球运动员参与了该研究。所有受试者均否认在研究前1年内有任何脚踝受伤史，且此前没有使用过预防性脚踝稳定器的经历。受试者在三种不同的脚踝处理方式下完成了三项测试[垂直跳跃、36.56米（40码）短跑和18.28米（20码）穿梭跑]：使用Aircast SportStirrup、DonJoy RocketSoc以及不使用支撑物作为对照。研究结果表明，与不使用支撑物的对照相比，Aircast SportStirrup和DonJoy RocketSoc对垂直跳跃、36.56米（40码）短跑和18.28米（20码）穿梭跑的表现没有显著影响。无论脚踝如何处理，技巧型球员的36.56米（40码）短跑成绩都比力量型球员快。总之，Aircast SportStirrup和DonJoy RocketSoc对高中橄榄球运动员涉及垂直跳跃、速度和敏捷性的表现既没有促进作用也没有负面影响。
