An emergency can occur anywhere and at any time, often unexpectedly.

According to statistics from the Federal Office for Accidents (2015), nearly every 4th sports injury, as well as almost every 6th household and leisure injury, involves the ankle area. Indeed, injuries to the upper ankle joint are certainly among the most common sports injuries in sports traumatology. In most cases, these involve a supination trauma. This injury occurs when the foot is inverted inwards across three axes of movement. In professional terms, this is referred to as plantarflexion, adduction, and inversion of the foot. Due to the severe stretching of the external (lateral) ligament complex of the ankle, it is often overstretched, leading to injury. There is a risk that this acute injury may result in chronic ankle instability as a long-term consequence.

As thoroughly explained in our blog about clinical trials, the hypotheses developed during anamnesis are analyzed through clinical reasoning and objectified using various diagnostic tests and assessments. This is crucial for reviewing your own methodology and therapeutic working hypotheses. Equally inspiring for the patient or client is the reassurance of being on the right path and achieving the desired, sought-after progress. In this way, problems or complaints can be measured and interpreted not only subjectively but also objectively. Changes, whether improvements or deteriorations, are clearly identified, documented, and demonstrated through re-tests.
