Balance –Exercises For Ankle Sprains

Balance Exercises After An Ankle Sprain

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com
Balance exercises are critically important as part of rehabilitation after an ankle sprain.  The sensory feedback from our feet and ankles is one of the primary components our balance system uses to maintain stability during all standing and walking movements.  Consequences of an ankle sprain include pain, stiffness, swelling and decreased balance abilities. With a stiff and swollen ankle, balance reactions are limited and our body has a difficult time correcting as our weight shifts. Additionally, after an ankle sprain it is very difficult to walk on uneven surfaces without greatly increasing the risk for falling. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now

Balance Exercises Needed After An Ankle Sprain

Balance exercises as well as general mobility and strengthening exercises are important to perform after an ankle sprain.  Simple stability exercises can include standing with one foot in front of the other or standing on the injured foot when it is able to take full weight bearing.  Equilibrium exercises can be progressed to include using balance training equipment such as a rocker board, soft foam or specialized balance discs.  Such balance equipment significantly challenges balance abilities and improves the reaction times at the ankles to the body’s shifting weight.
