Basketball Injuries: ACL Rupture, Lateral Ankle Sprain and Jumper's Knee
Basketball loads the lower limb through repeated jumping, landing and rapid change of direction. However, four presentations account for most of the clinical work.
Condition
Lateral ankle sprain
Grading, return-to-sport criteria, and rehab after lateral ankle sprain.
ICD-10-CM: S93.4
A lateral ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries, happening when the ankle rolls inward and stretches or tears the ligaments on the outer side. It causes pain, swelling, and sometimes a feeling of instability, and without full rehab, repeat sprains are common.
Physiotherapy helps you recover completely by restoring strength, balance, and control, not just settling the swelling. In this guide we cover grading, rehabilitation, and return-to-sport criteria after lateral ankle sprain, practical guidance for clinicians and clear, progressive exercises so patients rebuild a stable, confident ankle and lower the risk of doing it again.
Badminton Injuries: Ankle Sprain, Achilles Tendonitis, and Jumper's Knee
Badminton is played almost entirely in the lunge, the jump and the recovery step. That produces a lower-limb-dominant injury pattern, split between acute trauma and tendon overload, and the two need different clinical approaches.
