What is the conclusion?

“For the treatment of acute ankle sprain, there is strong evidence for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation, with moderate evidence supporting exercise and manual therapy techniques, for pain, swelling and function. Exercise therapy and bracing are supported in the prevention of CAI.”

What does this mean for me ?

Treatment of acute or chronic ankle pain and sprains is a combination of manual therapy, modalities, inflammation control and supporting balance and proprioception exercises.

Sounds complicated?

It simple, and let us do the thinking, that’s what we do.

-First phase is management of swelling and pain, full passive range.

-Second phase is active motion and light straight plain loading.

-Third phase is strengthening dynamical with integration of proprioception and multi-tasking balance activities.

-Forth Phase is full sports specific lateral and sagittal progression of resistance and specific movement patterns.

Time frame depends on the person, sport, severity of injury, age, and compliance to restrictions and recommendations. 2-6 weeks. 12 weeks or more are supported in the literature for strengthening and prevention performance of proprioceptive drills.

Abstract

Background: Ankle sprains are highly prevalent with high risk of recurrence. Consequently, there are a significant number of research reports examining strategies for treating and preventing acute and recurrent sprains (otherwise known as chronic ankle instability (CAI)), with a coinciding proliferation of review articles summarising these reports.

Objective: To provide a systematic overview of the systematic reviews evaluating treatment strategies for acute ankle sprain and CAI.

Design: Overview of intervention systematic reviews.

Participants: Individuals with acute ankle sprain/CAI.

Main outcome measurements: The primary outcomes were injury/reinjury incidence and function.

Results: 46 papers were included in this systematic review. The reviews had a mean score of 6.5/11 on the AMSTAR quality assessment tool. There was strong evidence for bracing and moderate evidence for neuromuscular training in preventing recurrence of an ankle sprain. For the combined outcomes of pain, swelling and function after an acute sprain, there was strong evidence for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation, with moderate evidence supporting exercise and manual therapy techniques. There was conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of surgery and acupuncture for the treatment of acute ankle sprains. There was insufficient evidence to support the use of ultrasound in the treatment of acute ankle sprains.

Conclusions: For the treatment of acute ankle sprain, there is strong evidence for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation, with moderate evidence supporting exercise and manual therapy techniques, for pain, swelling and function. Exercise therapy and bracing are supported in the prevention of CAI.
