The methods of exercising internal and external turning after the operation of triple ankle fracture mainly include joint mobility training, muscle strength training, balance and sensation training, etc. Meanwhile, it can be combined with physical factor therapy and rehabilitation robot therapy.
1. Joint mobility training: the patient sits in the sitting position, and within the scope of not causing pain, the therapist helps the patient to perform dorsiflexion and internal and external rotation by means of maneuvers.
2. Muscle strength training: the patient can tie an elastic band around the forefoot in the sitting position, fix the other end, and then exert force against it, repeatedly.
3. Balance sensory training: mainly for patients with better function. Let the patient stand on one leg, can use the hand to support the wall for assistance. Control the ankle to move inward and outward slowly and gently to train the patient’s proprioception, balance function and motor control ability.
It can also be combined with ultrasound, infrared and other physical factor therapy, as well as rehabilitation robot training assistance to improve pain, reduce edema and expand joint mobility.
Rehabilitation training for internal and external rotation after triple ankle fracture needs to be formulated in accordance with the patient’s own situation and carried out under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid secondary injury.
