Summary

This study examines ankle range of motion and ligamentous hyperlaxity (naturally loose joints) in 38 child basketball players aged 8 to 15. Researchers use simple tests like the Ankle Test and Lower Body Test to see how flexibility relates to common injuries. The goal is to gather information that could lead to future injury prevention plans for young athletes.
