Why Didn't he get injured after this slip???

Neuromuscular Control and Ankle Instability is the question.

It has been reported that 55% of individuals who experience an ankle sprain do not receive any medical attention and those who do don't receive optimal treatment.

During dynamic activity, open-loop mechanisms enable the neuromuscular system to act faster than closed-loop mechanisms with regard to one’s ability to make adjustments to expected or unexpected perturbations.

Reactive response training via unexpected perturbation is necessary in order to achieve high levels of the ankle joint stabilization.

He didn't get injured because of correct rehab, meaning high resolution of proprioceptive and kinesthesis activation.

Recent studies of responses to postural perturbations have provided a new view of how postural stability is controlled, and this view has profound implications for physical therapy practice.
