Ankle injury is one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries caused by running and jumping sports are more common. Torsion of the ankle exceeds the range of motion of the individual’s joints, resulting in excessive stretching and tearing of ligaments around the ankle, as well as injury to the abdomen and tendons of the extensor digitorum muscle. The junction between tendon and bone is the most vulnerable part of injury. Foot and ankle are complex mechanisms. There are many foot-appendage joints, many of which are fretting joints. The weak link of foot and ankle joint is the main part of sports injury.

The ankle joint itself is only the function of the hinge joint, allowing only the moment bone to rotate in one plane. The ankle joint can be used for dorsiflexion (extension) and plantar flexion (flexion). The talar block is wide and narrow in front of the talus. When the dorsiflexion is dorsiflexed, the front of the wider trochle is embedded in the socket and the joint is relatively stable. When the plantar flexion occurs, because the posterior part of the narrower pulley enters the socket, the foot can make a slight lateral movement, and the joint is not stable enough, so the joint sprain often occurs in the plantar flexion. Therefore, you should pay attention when going downhill and down the stairs.
If you accidentally hurt your ankle, stop exercising immediately and pay attention to the protection of the injured area.
First, distinguish the severity of the injury. If a sprained foot can stand and walk reluctantly, it means a slight sprain. If there is severe pain in ankle movement after a sprained foot, it can not stand or move and gradually swell up, indicating that it may sprain to the bone, it should be treated by a hospital film immediately.

1. Proper use of hot and cold compresses. At the beginning of the sprain, the capillaries are ruptured. At this time, cold compresses can be used to contract the blood vessels and control the development of the injury. After 24 hours, the ruptured blood vessels stop bleeding, and hot compresses can be used to cause the congestion around the sprain to dissipate.
2. Correctly press the sprain part. In the initial stage of sprain, it is better to press in the hematoma area; after 24 hours, the method is used, and the swelling is taken as the center, and rubbing in all directions.
3. Proper activities. At the beginning of the sprain, the swelling and pain gradually increase and should stop activities. After the condition has stabilized, as long as it is not very painful, you can gradually increase the activities of the ankle and foot.

As a portable ankle protective orthosis, ankle brace is suitable for patients with ankle sprain, ankle ligament injury and ankle instability. It can effectively provide cushion for the ankle during exercise, which can restrict the left and right movement of the ankle, prevent sprain caused by varus and valgus of the ankle, relieve the pressure on the injured part of the ankle, reinforce the ankle joint and promote the healing of the injured soft tissue.

People who are fond of sports must protect themselves in daily sports. Danger is everywhere, ankle is the most important part of the most vulnerable, ankle brace can help you to avoid more worries, enjoy sports happiness. And after injury, ankle brace can also play an auxiliary role in treatment, so as to restore your health as soon as possible.
