Ankle support is a kind of equipment to protect the human ankle joint, suitable for badminton, tennis, football, bicycle, dance and other sports, or for ankle joint inversion injury, postoperative fixation and strength protection during rehabilitation. In mild ankle sprains, the ligaments are loosened or partially torn; in severe cases, the ligaments are completely ruptured, with subluxation of the ankle joint, or complicated by fracture and dislocation. After ankle sprain, the patient has pain and swelling in front of or below the outer heel, and there may be ecchymosis in the acute stage. At this time, the movement of foot inversion will aggravate the pain, and the foot inversion can be painless.
There are many reasons for ankle sprains, such as insufficient preparation; uneven sandy ground; bad sneakers; lack of concentration when exercising; stepping on the ball when jumping and running, and running on uneven roads will hurt the ankle the most. [1]
Diagnosis is easier, and a preliminary diagnosis can be made based on the history of trauma and symptoms and signs. But to identify the severity, and then make a correct diagnosis. Generally speaking, if you have pain when you move your ankle, but it is not severe, it is mostly a soft tissue injury, and you can treat it yourself. If you have severe pain when you move your ankle, you can't stand or move, the pain is on the bone, there is a sound when you sprain, and it swells quickly after the injury.
