Common rehabilitation training for ligament injury includes elevation of limbs, joint mobility training and muscle strength training.
1. Elevate the limb: When ligament injury occurs and swelling of the limb occurs, you can elevate the limb to promote the return of blood and lymphatic fluid and reduce the swelling.
2. Joint mobility training: ligament injuries generally cause pain, swelling, if not timely joint mobility training. It may lead to limitation of joint activities.
