The Athlete's Ankle Sprain
Course description
In this practical one-day course, we take a deep dive into the often-overlooked territory of ankle sprains in athletes. Our first stop is objective evaluation: using standardised testing methods, we carefully map the functional limitations and capabilities of the injured ankle. From there, we move on to evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, built on the test results obtained. The final destination of this journey is the integrated application of all acquired insights and techniques in a practice-oriented rehabilitation process, aimed at a safe and effective return to sport.
