Rehabilitation training for lateral ankle ligament injuries includes strengthening the ankle muscles, as well as increasing the control of ankle movements and increasing the proprioception of the foot.
1. Enhance ankle muscle strength: Lateral ankle ligament injury is likely to cause ligament laxity, by enhancing local muscle strength to help maintain joint stability. For example, ankle pumping exercises, outward-facing plantar exercises, tiptoe walking exercises, and so on.
2. Increase the control ability of ankle movement: after ankle ligament injury, the control ability of ankle movement will be weakened, and training for ankle control ability can accelerate the recovery process to a certain extent. Such as balance board squatting up and down, wave speed ball squatting, standing balance half-axis and so on. It also includes light jumping and elastic ligament strength exercises.
3. Enhance the proprioception of the foot: after ankle ligament injury, due to pain and immobilization and other factors, the proprioception of the sole of the foot is usually reduced, and balance training can be carried out to increase the proprioception of the sole of the foot.
After ankle ligament injury, recovery training needs to be carried out in a gradual manner. It is recommended to do so under the guidance of a doctor to avoid secondary injuries caused by improper self-exercise.
