Ligament Injuries

Ligament injuries occur when ligaments are overstretched or torn, often due to sports or trauma. These injuries destabilize joints, commonly in the ankle or knee, and can lead to long-term weakness if not properly rehabilitated.

Causes of Ligament Injuries:

  • Sudden twists, impact, or falls
  • Sports injuries or accidents
  • Poor joint mechanics or footwear

Symptoms of Ligament Injuries:

  • 1. Swelling and bruising
  • 2. Joint instability or giving way
  • 3. Pain during weight-bearing or movement

Treatment and Rehabilitation:

    • 1. Acute Care Management:
      Immediate rest, compression, and elevation to control swelling and prevent worsening.
    • 2. Taping and Bracing Techniques:
      Supports the injured joint during movement and prevents re-injury.
    • 3. Gradual Loading:
      Rest followed by a graded return to activity allows proper tissue healing.
    • 4. Ankle Strengthening Exercises:
      Focuses on regaining muscle control and joint support.
    • 5. Footwear Modification:
      Ensures proper arch support and alignment to protect healing ligaments.
    • 6. Balance and Proprioception Training:
      Retrains the nervous system to stabilize joints during movement.
    • 7. Return to Sport Training:
      Rebuilds sport-specific strength, agility, and confidence for safe re-entry.
