Posterior Ankle Impingement and Posterior Process With Rehab Posterior ankle impingement is a condition that causes ankle pain and swelling at the back of the ankle where the back of the shin bone (tibia) meets the top bone of the ankle (talus). It can happen when soft tissue gets caught between these bones. Some people have an abnormal bone growth on the back of the talus (os trigonum or posterior process). This can also become enlarged or swollen and painful. This condition is common in athletes

PT Rehabilitation Plan Ankle Sprains Overview Ankle sprains have three degrees of injury ranging from 1-3. The level of the ankle sprain is determined by the amount that the ligament is torn or stretched. A grade one sprain is categorized as a slight stretching and damage to the fibers of the ligament. A grade 2 sprain is characterized as partial tearing of the ligament and abnormal laxity of the ankle. A grade 3 sprain is characterized by complete tear of the ligament if it can be pushed or

An Ankle Sprain of a Female Colligate Basketball Player Objective: To introduce a case study about a mild ankle sprain. Background: The most common way to sprain an ankle in basketball is to step on someone else’s foot, or to plant and to turn the wrong way. Differential Diagnosis: Could be an injury to the deltoid ligament, CF, or the ATF ligament. Treatment: Ice, High volt, Theraband, Towel scrunches, Towel stretches, Whirlpool Conclusion: Rehab will help her get her strength back

acute ankle injury that accounts for about 10 to 25 percent of all injuries. Of all these injuries that occur, almost ¾ of them are related to the lateral structures in our ankle. The most common and minor form of these injuries is a lateral ankle sprain, which is caused by an inversion stress to the joint of the ankle. When someone happens to sprain their ankle, the usual preventive measures by athletic trainers and sports doctors are taken into action such as ankle taping, using of an ankle brace

Treatment for Syndesmotic ankle sprains appears to be based on clinical experience and there is a lack of evidence based studies on this topic (Williams, Jones and Amendola, 2007; Williams and Allen, 2010). Williams, Jones and Amendola (2007) evaluated 3 articles on syndesmotic sprains and suggested the following treatment structure: 1st phase is an acute phase, in which the primary goals are protection of the injured joint and minimization of the inflammatory response, including pain control.

Treatment of a sprained ankle as a physical therapist This essay is going to talk about the work, salary and educational requirements of physical therapist. We’re also going to talk about the ankle and its anatomy, the sprained ankle and how to cure it. The main topic is going to be how a physical therapist is involved in the curing and rehabilitating a sprained ankle. My name is Jasper Kuester and I’m a Physical Therapist, which are commonly known as physiotherapists. The general work of Physical

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries among the pediatric population between the ages of 10 and 19, especially with an increased participation in recreational and competitive sports.1,2 Of that pediatric population, females are reported to be more susceptible to ankle injuries than their male counterparts.1 The reoccurrence rate is of even greater concern being as high as 70% within the active, adolescent female population.3 Some potential risk factors that may be contributing to an increased

standard ankle braces. In addition, many poorer families struggle to afford such expensive devices. My goal for this invention is to develop a feasible and medically accepted system in which a 3D scan of the patient’s foot will be manipulated on the computer to create a custom, 3D-printed brace. This innovative new process, combining the new technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing, will result in an orthotic that can be produced quickly and inexpensively.

evaluate a program of therapy designed to return to ambulation a patient post-lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. The components of the anatomical analysis- joints and actions, muscles, types of contractions, biomechanics, neuromuscular considerations, and safety- will help to further understanding so that a program of therapy will be properly and correctly administered to an individual recovering from a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction surgery. B. Classification This therapy program is designed
