The ankle joint can be theoretically supported by external equipment such as ankle braces, high-top shoes and taping which can limit the range of motion of ankle joint to decrease risk of injuries, and the high-top shoes are designed as an alternative of taping and ankle bracing. Such as heel cord stretching, peroneal and tibial muscle strengthening, proprioception enhancement training, ankle braces and shoe selection have been used to reduce injury risks of ankle sprain ( Knight and Weimar 2011). It is important to undertake some interventions to help prevent ankle sprains based on the prevalence of these injuries as well as the residual symptoms.

These lateral ligament sprains in ankle usually appeared in the phase of touchdown accompanied by excessive inversion and plantarflexion of the foot when players land on an uneven or unbalanced surface with cutting maneuvers or changing direction ( Wright et al. It emphasizes the potential severity of ankle sprains on the movement performance in the longer-term. According to Smith and Reischl finding that 80% players who experience an ankle sprain have sustained multiple sprains ( Smith and Reischl 1986). Then subsequent sprains are significantly increased due to the initial experience of an ankle sprain. And more than 30% of the participators suffered from ankle sprains with chronic ankle instability ( Ryan 1994). There appears to have a greater risk for obtaining an ankle sprain in basketball when compared to other sports, with incidence rates of 3. Thus, the more parameters of ankle changes and muscle activity of lower extremity should be assessed in the future to improve our comprehensive understanding for shoe collar effect of ankle stability. Through the meta-analysis combined with a random effect, the model indicated that the type of shoe has no effect on the ankle inversion (p = 0.08) and ROM (p = 0.85).Д¬onclusion: The results showed that there no significant difference in the shoe collar was found. Results: 6 studies were collected in this systematic review, the selecting studies were divided into two different groups based on different motions of test, one of group is a side step cutting task for testing ROM of ankle in coronal plane, another one is conducting a jump task and the peak ankle inversion data at the landing after jump was extracted.

Articles were involved if they: 1) compared subjects between high-top shoes and low-top shoes, 2) only focused on basketball shoes, 3) utilized kinematics and electromyogram as the primary outcome, 4) published in English. Methods: Relevant papers were collected through PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Scopus focused on ankle stability comparison in basketball shoes between high-top and low-top. Purpose: This review is to systematically estimate if there is any relationship between the shoe collar characteristic and the risk of ankle sprain by reviewing the literature.
