Sometimes fracture occurs also.
Rehab/Treatment Plan for Sprained Ankles
RICE
Modalities
Exercises
RICE Rest- stay off the Ankle,
crutches may be needed
Ice- 15 minutes a 4 to 5 times a day
Compression- ace wrap with horseshoe keeps the swelling down
Elevation- keep ankle above heart level when possible, allows gravity to pump out swelling
Goals of RICE
Limit Swelling
Reduce pain
Return to sport/activity quicker
Modalities Used
COLD WHIRLPOOL- 15 minutes a couple times
a day Vasoconstrictors vessels
around ankle Stimulates pain killing
receptors Slows cell metabolism Aids in reducing swelling
Modalities Used HIGH VOLTAGE- Assists in activating pain killing
receptors. Assists in muscle stimulation
around ankle joint to aid in edema removal.
ULTRASOUND- Assists in edema removal. Assists in bringing digestive
enzymes to clean debris cells of the injured ankle.
Rehab Exercises
Range of Motion ABC’s One leg Stands BAPS Board Towel Curls Toe Pickups Toe Rises Theraband
Taping Vs. Wrapping
TAPING- Psychologically better
feeling to the athlete Tight fitting at first Tape looses a large
percentage of its support within the first 15-20 minutes of competition
Taping Vs. Wrapping
WRAPPING- Purpose in wrapping is
injury prevention. Wrapping will not
eliminate sprained ankle, but it does minimize the severity of the sprain.
Ankle Braces
ANKLE BRACES- Many varieties and types. Lace Up Hinged Air Casts All offer different levels of
support. Large and competitive
business market for ankle braces.
