背景及目的：本研究目的在於調查高中甲級籃球選手足踝部競技傷害盛行率及特徵以提供教練與選手對於足踝關節競技傷害預防之參考。方法：徵召12隊高中甲級籃球隊伍並填寫問卷。問卷內容包括基本資料、足踝部傷害病史以及傷害對目前的影響。結果：共有136人有效填寫問卷（回收率：94.4%），其中90%的選手有足踝部競技傷害經驗，以踝關節(86.8%)比例最高。受傷多發生在訓練(74.7%)，尤其在選手從事搶籃板動作、以及落地時不慎踩到別人的腳。就醫習慣以中醫和國術館居高(58.4%)，足踝部受傷後接受物理治療者僅佔11.8%。大部分的傷者(85.2%)在受傷一個月內均歸隊訓練。跑步會痛、跳躍會痛、力量變差、踝關節不穩和無法長時間運動為選手反映主要影響日常生活之因素。結論：國內高中甲級籃球選手足踝部競技傷害發生率高，因此，找出影響傷害之各種可能危險因子，以提供球員與教練訓練的參考是極需要的。（物理治療2003;28(3):147-156）

Purposes: The main purpose of this study was to survey the prevalence and to investigate the profiles of ankle-foot injuries in elite men's high school basketball players. Methods: Twelve elite men's high school basketball teams with a total of 144 players were recruited for this study. A questionnaire containing questions regarding physical characteristics, history of ankle-foot injuries, and the current state of those injuries was given to the recruits. Results: One hundred and thirty six of the 144 players (94.4%) returned the completed questionnaires. One hundred and twenty two of these 136 (90.0%) players had histories of ankle-foot injuries with a total of 182 different injuries. Most injuries (86.8%) involved the ankle. The majority (74.7%) of ankle-foot injuries occurred during training when a player landed on the foot of another player while attempting a rebound. Most of the injured players (58.0%) underwent Chinese traditional medicine therapy and Chinese martial arts therapy. Only 11.8% of the injured players received physical therapy. Pain, weakness, ankle instability and loss of endurance were the major residual symptoms (70.9%) in these injured players. Eighty-five point two percent of these injured players returned to training or competition within one month of being injured. Conclusions: Taiwan elite men's high school basketball players had a high prevalence of ankle-foot injuries, and half (56.0%) of these injured players suffered from residual symptoms. In order to prevent such injuries, further studies to identify the risk factors associated with these injuries will be needed. (FJPT 2003;28(3):147-156)
