PT and OT Helper: Ankle

“Unbeknown to most historians Einstein started down the road of professional basketball before an ankle injury diverted him to science”
..................Gary Larson, Cartoonist and Author

This innovative app includes 10 exercises (listed below) designed by therapists that enhances and simplifies the rehabilitation experience for both the patient and therapist. This app is also appropriate to be used by anybody wishing to improve targeted muscle development.

The app eliminates patient confusion about any aspect of the exercise routine created specifically for their injury by their health professional. For the therapist it simplifies the creation of the exercise routine and provides the opportunity to confirm that the patient is performing their rehabilitation as prescribed. Never before has this level of exercise coordination been achieved that provides a better understanding and communication between the therapist and the patient. No longer is there any reason for the patient to leave the therapist’s office with just a piece of paper to describe the exercises to perform. This app will hasten the individuals return to activities of daily living, their job or to the sport they love.

More than 1 million people visit emergency rooms each year because of ankle injuries. There are 23,000 ankle sprains that occur in the United States every day. Ankle injuries are often thought of as sports injuries since half of all ankle sprains occur during an athletic activity. But you don’t have to be an athlete or even a “weekend warrior” to turn your ankle. According to the Cleveland Clinic it is one of those injuries that are virtually impossible to prevent. A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward way. Something as simple as walking on an uneven surface can cause a painful, debilitating sprain. The exercises in this app were created under expert supervision of professionals in the field. To avoid injury you should always work with a therapist before performing these exercises.
