Ankle

Almost all of us know the pain caused by a sprain or twisting of our ankle. This pain is usually the result of the pressures that the lateral ligaments or the outer side of the ankle receive at that time, leading in some cases even to a bone fracture. Although such an accident can happen in our daily life, ankle injuries occur more often in sports, which is why special care must be taken to protect the ankle. Let's look at the most common injuries.

Sprain (Ligament Injuries)

Turning the foot inward, perhaps one of the most common causes of injury, causes a tear in the external (lateral) ligaments, making any movement of the ankle extremely painful. If no fracture occurs, in addition to physical therapy, rehabilitation includes elevation of the leg, splinting, rest, ice application, and compression.

How do splints help?

Elastic bandages are not only intended for the early functional treatment of injured ligaments, but also for early return to activity and, in some cases, for long-term use. They offer stabilization as well as functional mobilization, activating the muscles of the injured area.
