Ankle sprains could be looked at as a result of inversion and plantar flexion. So considering the hip is responsible for the proper alignment of the femur and the tibia, the weaker the hip, the shakier the structure. So the glute med provides control to the frontal plane, while glute max controls the rotational force.
So the weakness of the hip may not be the sole purpose of a sprained ankle i.e. if you landed on someone's foot, a 5th of vodka on Elston, or kicked a puppy, the severity of it may have been lessened or amplified by the control of the muscles of the hip.
"The connection between hip, knee, and ankle pain."
Because the hips are responsible for a good portion of alignment of the legs, runners (particularly females with knee pain) are frequently diagnosed with tight IT bands and weak glutes (IT band syndrome), thus contributing to an unstable structure that is repeatedly used over and over in the gait process. This causes the knee to be a mobile structure when it is supposed to be a stable joint.
Almost forgot my workout info:
Day 1 (WS4SB)
A1 Bench press 225x3 245x2 (f*cked that one up was suppose to do 3-5)
B1 12" Incline DB bench press 55#x15x2
C1 DB rows 90#x8x3 (felt a little easy up reps)
C2 Face pulls black band 12x3
D1 Shrugs (skipping because of planned oly skill work)
