Published Paper Details:

posterior ankle impingement syndrome is a common cause of posterior ankle pain that is known to be associated with sports which require the athletes to repetitively plantarflex the ankle such as ballet dancers, fast bowler's, football players, swimmers and cyclist. Pais can limit the athletes' ability to perform at the optimal level. Objective: to find the prevalence of posterior ankle impingement syndrome in fast bowler's. Method: 30 male athletes / bowler's; their age ranging from 18 to 30 years old practicing bowling for at least one year or more than that, diadnosis of pais was made based on history taking and assessment using faam[foot and ankle ability measure] , faam-activities of daily living and faam- sport's subscale. Result: the prevalence of pais in the selected sample was- 1. In faam- 56.433%, 2. Faam adl - 75.667% and faam sport-68.4%. Conclusion: fast bowling must be with precautions to avoid pais injury; routine extensor tendon stretching before practicing and protective ankle dorsiflexion taping are recommended to prevent posterior ankle impingement syndrome.
