Chronic Ankle Instability

Description

Mr Donatas Chlebinskas gives his expert insights and discusses how physical therapy significantly enhances symptoms associated with chronic ankle instability. Engaging in structured exercise programs that last over four weeks has been shown to improve functional scores and balance, making them the most effective rehabilitation method. These programs are most beneficial when they combine various elements such as strength training, joint mobilization, proprioceptive balance training, core stability exercises, and stretching of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Moreover, patients who start their rehabilitation sooner after experiencing an injury tend to achieve better recovery outcomes.
