3
Q
Lateral Ankle Sprain
A
- acute
- chronic ankle instability
4
Q
Components to Chronic Ankle Instability
A
- mechanical (lax ligaments)
- neuromuscular (decr proprioception)
5
Q
Treatment of Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain
A
- ice
- K-tape
- joint mobes (grade I/II and distraction)
- AROM: pain free (ankle pumps)
- Modalities
- gait in water
- aerobic exercise
- strengthening
6
Q
Talar Position after sprain
A
- inversion/plantarflexion stress
- tear of ATFL
- talus glides ant
- ant impingement
7
Q
Manual Therapy Techniques for Lateral Ankle Sprain–Acute Phase
A

- AP TC mob
- mobilization with movement (MWM)
8
Q
Strengthening After Lateral Ankle Sprain–Acute Phase
A
- isometrics (submax)
- proximal hip
- opposite extremity
- UE
9
Q
High Correlation between:
A
-hip weakness and lateral ankle sprains
10
Q
Lateral Ankle Sprain Subacute Phase
A
- minimize pain/swelling
- ROM (& check arthrokinematics)
- Strength
- Aerobic Conditioning
11
Q
Cuboid can
A
- sublux plantarly
- treat with cuboid whip then cuboid pad under
- peroneus longus attached to it
12
Q
Problems with balance with chronic ankle sprain
A
- proprioceptive deficits
- decrease stability when landing from a jump
- reduced postural control
13

Bracing?
A
- brace/tape while rehabing, not forever
- 3-6 months
14
