Ankle sprains are often thought of as sports injuries. But you don’t have to be an athlete or even a “weekend warrior” to turn your ankle and hurt it. Something as simple as walking or running on an uneven surface can cause a painful sprain. It is also common in case of garden activity or work, e.g. in the warehouse.
An ankle injury occurs when the ankle joint is twisted too far out of its normal position. In this case, the soft tissues (ligaments, tendons and joint capsule) are overstretched and may be damaged. There are three stages of wound healing. The first one, inflammatory phase, begins at the time of injury and lasts up to four days. Proliferative phase occurs 3-5 days following an injury and includes inflammatory cells, fibroblasts and collagen. The last one, remodeling phase can continue for six months to one year after injury. The result of this phase is an organised, quality and functional scar similar to the tissue it is busy repairing. Wound healing is a long-term process. Due to this fact, using a professional orthopeadic brace is crucial for joint support.
To do that, we highly recommend our ankle brace with footshell AM-OSS-11 which will prevent against the injury and will support damaged ankle joint.
