Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries, often caused by a sudden twist or roll of the ankle. While weak ankle ligaments are usually blamed, research shows that poor hip strength and stability can significantly increase the risk of sprains.
The muscles around the hips and core help control leg movement and balance. When these muscles are weak, the ankle is more likely to roll under pressure, especially during sports or uneven walking surfaces. Strengthening the hips improves overall lower limb alignment and reduces the chance of re-injury.
At Stella Maris Clinic, our orthopaedics specialists provide personalized assessments and rehabilitation programs that focus on both ankle and hip strength — helping you recover fully and prevent future sprains.
