What are the rehabilitation training methods for ankle fractures?

Ankle fractures have a great impact on the patient's life and may cause swelling and pain. If the condition is serious, deformity will occur. If a patient has an ankle fracture, it must be treated as soon as possible and cannot be delayed to avoid delaying the best treatment time. During the recovery period, the patient can also perform certain rehabilitation training to avoid muscle atrophy.

So, what are the rehabilitation training methods for ankle fractures?

1. After an ankle fracture, in addition to actively taking treatment measures, appropriate rehabilitation training is also required. Rehabilitation training has many movements, such as flexion and extension, which is a common training method. During training, the patient can sit on a bench, move the leg back as far as possible, and then hold it for 10 seconds. Flexion and extension training can train muscles and muscles well, so it is a basic training movement for many patients with ankle fractures.

2. If the affected part recovers well, the patient can increase the difficulty of training appropriately. For example, the patient can squat and practice under the guidance of medical staff. In the early stage of training, the patient can hold an object in his hand and squat slowly. During this period, it doesn't matter if the action is not standardized, as long as it is adjusted in time, it can play a positive role. This kind of training action will cause great pressure on the affected part, so the training time should not be too long.

3. The most common rehabilitation training method is walking. When the fracture symptoms are initially recovered, the patient can do walking training under the protection of his family. Since the affected part is still in the recovery period, the training intensity should not be too strong, and the training can be done under the guidance of medical staff.

The above are the training methods after ankle fracture. Rehabilitation training plays a very important role in fracture treatment, and patients who actively train can often achieve better rehabilitation results. In addition to treatment, patients should also actively carry out rehabilitation training. In order to avoid overtraining and causing secondary damage to the affected area, patients can train under the guidance of medical staff.
