Therefore, athletes should start a criteria-based rehabilitation after ankle sprain and gradually progress through the programmed activities, including e.g. cryotherapy, edema reduction, optimal load management, range of motion exercises to improve ankle dorsiflexion and digital guidance, stretching of the triceps surae with isometric exercises and strengthening of the peroneus muscles, balance and proprioception training, and bracing/taping. The fact that this is professional sport does not exempt it from consistent, stage-appropriate treatment and a cautious increase in load. However, there are a number of measures and tools that can be used in the intensive care of athletes to improve treatment and results.
