摘要:
In brief:Edema associated with the inversion ankle sprain can be minimized by using a U- shaped compression pad held in place against the soft tissue around the fibular malleolus by an elastic wrap or tape. Control of edema allows earlier mobilization of the ankle joint, which reduces recovery time and permits the earliest possible return to sports participation. Factors to be considered in the construction of a compression pad include shaping, firmness, and conformability to the contours of the ankle and foot. Optimal results are obtained through continuous use of a U-shaped pad beneath an adjustable form of compression for as long as the potential for edema exists.
