85% of all sprains


Happens during

of the ankle.
What ligament is the

Depends on ankle position

PAIN RESPONSE OF
DAMAGED TISSUE
1. Damaged muscle and
ligaments are painful
when stretched.
2. Damaged muscle is
painful to contract.
PAIN RESPONSE .. Con’t

3. Both structures are


painful if palpated at
the site of tear.

INVERSION SPRAINS
One area of tenderness.
No sensation of tearing
or feeling unstable.
Full ROM with discomfort
on active plantar
flexion and inversion.

Stand athlete to check
for pain in ankle or
leg.
Walk to the sideline if
athlete can walk
without a limp.
INVERSION SPRAIN

At least two areas of pain.


Hear/feel of tearing.
Painful ankle.
Limitation of pl. flexion
and inversion.
2..

Check to see if the


athlete can stand.
Determine where the pain
is located (leg pain
N.W.B.).
If they can walk, but limp,
remove N.W.B.
EVERSION SPRAIN
• Least common sprain.
• Most fractures happen in
eversion.
• Stability of the medial
ankle depends upon the
Deltoid Ligament and the
lateral malleolus.
EVERSION
• Slight medial tenderness.
• Pain and slight limitation
on active eversion.
• Stand to determine if
there is leg pain.
• Walk off playing surface if
not antalgic.
ANKLE SPRAIN
SEVERE

Rigid, high footwear.


Unable to continue on
with the activity.
Leg pain on standing.
Eversion and
External Rotation
of the ankle
without Deltoid
Ligament tear.

THE MINOR SPRAIN
Can this athlete return to
play during this contest?

Definition… Discomfort
versus pain?
Pain changes the way
you do things!
Dissect the sport into its’
components starting from
the most simple on the
ankle and progress to the
most difficult. If they can
perform the test without
pain… then return.
(Following taping?)
NON-RETURNING
ATHLETE
C.I.C.E.R.
Crutches for proper gait.
Referral for physio.

Prepare for return.


PREPARE FOR RETURN

Aside from the ‘formal’


rehabilitation, the athlete
must work on maintaining
conditioning and doing
whatever sport skills they
can.
WHEN DO I KNOW
THAT I AM READY
TO RETURN?????
