How to avoid long-term ankle injuries

How to ensure the fastest rehabilitation of your overtravel injury

More than 200,000 people step over in Norway every year. At the same time, the number of unreported injuries is many times higher – it is estimated that around 700,000 Norwegians are affected annually. The problem is that very few people seek help and thus do not get started with the necessary rehabilitation and follow-up of the injury.

  • One of the most important measures for recovering from injury quickly is to ensure mobility and flexibility in the ankle. Yet many of those who step over make one big mistake – overlooking rehabilitation. This makes the process long-lasting, painful and can quickly lead to new strains,” says physiotherapist Eirik Østvold at Haukeland University Hospital.

In this article, the experienced physiotherapist explains how to avoid long-term consequences after overtraining and ensure rapid rehabilitation through good training.

Three tips for effective rehabilitation
When the acute phase immediately after the injury is over, many injury victims experience inflammation, swelling and stiffness. It’s all about avoiding long-term consequences and carrying out targeted training. Physiotherapist Østvold points out three important steps that contribute to the best possible rehabilitation:

  1. Ensure gradual loading
  2. Maintaining mobility
  3. Focus on balance in the ankle joint

Using adjustable resistance against the inside of the foot, the Ankle Trainer pulls the foot out of its natural position. With each step, the foot and ankle joint is challenged and must work to stabilize itself. This process allows users to achieve better mobility and balance because the muscles around the ankle joint are activated and strengthened.

  • The Ankle Trainer allows those struggling with overuse injuries to effectively achieve their rehabilitation goals by using the product in daily life. The Ankle Trainer challenges the muscles and joint sense to constantly work to adjust during use, gradually increasing the load. You simply force the ankle to contribute to the rehabilitation with every step you take,” says Østvold.

The user can effectively regain their ability to use the device. The Wear’N’Go Ankle Trainer allows those who have overstepped to carry out rehabilitation in their daily lives, without having to set aside time to perform exercises.

Active rehabilitation provides stimuli to the ankle joint
The need for rehabilitation varies from person to person, but common to those who overstep is the desire to avoid new oversteps that cause pain and reduce mobility.

  • Wear’N’Go – Ankle Trainer activates the muscles around the ankle joint and improves compliance to return to training and mobility after the injury. The product challenges and provokes the ankle at an angle that activates muscles and the ankle joint, which contributes to active rehabilitation, says the physiotherapist.
