SLIPPED AND ANKLE TWISTED
SLIPPED AND ANKLE TWISTED
In Germany about 8300 people per day twist their ankle. Just now, when it is cold and slippery again, the danger of getting injured increases - especially for runners who train outside in winter.
If the ankle joint injury is not treated properly, there is a risk of consequential damage.
It is therefore important to minimize risk factors, take every injury seriously, have it checked by a doctor and treat it according to its phase.
Immediately after a twist, the affected foot should be compressed, cooled and stored up until a doctor's visit.
For therapy in the appropriate phases, from the acute phase through to reintegration into sport and to prevent the ankle from twisting again, an orthosis (e.g. <link https: www.sporlastic.de external-link-new-window internal link in current>MALLEODYN® S3) can be worn to stabilize, cool, relieve and protect the affected ankle joint.
