Sprained ankle: Once the swelling subsides and she can walk she can return to gymnastics wearing a brace.

Limit activity.: Rigorous activity should be limited to allow for optimal healing. The use of a brace may help support an area during activity, but they have their limitations. Consult with your doctor and get their professional advice.
