Julie is a 36-year-old woman with a grade II ankle sprain who plays recreational volleyball. She has had several sprains in the past, but this was her worst. Her walking boot was discontinued several weeks ago and she is progressing well with her rehabilitation. Although Julie’s physician released her to return to volleyball, she still has mild swelling and slight pain with some of the light plyometric exercises. Should she be allowed to return to play?
