Accidental tripping: It is not uncommon to experience an ankle sprain by stepping on an uneven surface causing your foot to roll in or out.

Not complicated: Ankle sprains occur when your body weight is shifted while the foot and ankle are either twisted or anchored so that twisting occurs. Picture a skater with the foot angled as a fall occurs. Common sites of sprain are uneven sidewalks, curbs and unexpected rocks or holes in a walking place. Vigilance and attention to your walking place will prevent most of these.
