Is recovery from ankle sprains negatively affected by obesity?

Conclusions. All BMI groups showed improvements from ankle sprain over time. However, at 6 months, a sizeable proportion of the participants had not fully recovered particularly among individuals classified as obese. The findings suggest that individuals with obesity may benefit from specialized interventions focused on symptom management and functional activity.
