Explore the anatomy and mechanism of the common ankle sprain, including lateral ligaments ATFL, CFL, PTFL, and grade 1–3 injuries, with a 14-day rehab emphasizing mobility and kinetic chain restoration.
A 14-day rehab program guides a minor ankle sprain through ice, elevation, crutch-assisted non-weight bearing, toe and forefoot mobilization, range of motion, and isometric and band-based strengthening to restore function.
Strengthen the lower extremity through a progressive ankle rehabilitation program using resistance bands, hip-knee-ankle sequencing, single-leg balance, and proprioception drills to restore mobility, strength, and safe return to activity.
Address chronic ankle instability from recurrent sprains by improving proprioception and strengthening the ankle's kinetic chain: ankle, knee, and hip through integrated, progressive exercises with ankle sleeves.
High ankle sprains occur at the connection between the tibia and fibula, not inversion injuries; they require x-ray and professional evaluation, and rehabilitation is longer, with immobilization or surgery.
In this course Rebound Athletics explains the different types of ankle sprains and their mechanism of injury. Greg Cadichon lays out his 14 day plan for rehabilitation of a common inversion ankle sprain. However, his program can be used as a path for rehabilitation for more severe ankle sprains that take longer to rehabilitate. We explain when a sprain needs to be evaluated further by a physician. Chronic ankle sprains and high ankle sprains are discussed. In English with Mandarin subtitles.
