ankle ligament tear

Hi,

That is a really nice looking bike.

Have fun with it when you get it. Just don’t do any girl watching while riding it.

Here’s a question for the physical therapists here.

Why is the prescription for rehabbing injuries usually some type of isolation exercise? I’m assuming it is to strengthen all areas of the injured area. But, honestly it makes no sense to me.

We don’t use any of our muscles, ligaments, or tendons in isolation. There are no movements that we are capable of that don’t involved more than one muscle(that I’m aware of). So why are these movements prescribed?

Shouldn’t loaded compound exercises be prescribed instead since that’s what these body parts are designed for anyways?

have u ever even been injured lolz

[QUOTE=bawang;1241556]have u ever even been injured lolz[/QUOTE]

Yes.

I rehabbed all three of my injuries using the Starr protocol. Which is loaded compound movements.

I also had a good friend that messed up his ankle in a similar fashion to Lucas. He used loaded compound exercises to strengthen his.

ur injured part can spontaneously give out from trying to stabilize. if ur seasoned lifter no problem, but lucas is 30 year old skinny man who never lifted weights.

if u lift weights bill starr say u rehab wit the exercise that injured u, but lucas doesn’t lift weights, it don’t matter if hes not “functional”

No one said anything about being “functional.”

And to suggest that someone is going to only get stronger from an isolation exercise is stupid. It doesn’t matter if he lifts or not. Your body gets strong the same. Plus the fact that he skateboards tells me he is much stronger stabilizing with his lower legs than the average person. It’s not like it happened from atrophy or detraining.

A loaded compound exercise doesn’t have to be heavy. You can hold a 5lb weight in you hand and that makes it loaded.

rehab isn’t about making tendon stronger, its tissue remodeling. that’s why physios isolate the injured part.

rehab is tissue remodeling. don’t matter if u isolate or use compound. for me doing wit the bar made me want to add weight too fast.

stabilizing takes concentration and when the weight goes up for me I cant pay as much attention to the injury.

If you’re using a physical therapist they are the ones adding weight. And load bearing compound exercises are the best way to work on stabilization. That’s what the foot does during those exercises. The most common issue after an ankle sprain is stabilizing. It probation has a lot to do with people trying to isolate muscles that don’t need to be.

Strengthen it all at the same time in the manner in which you want it to get stronger.

Bummer man. No advice to give that hasn’t been given, just don’t rush it. One of my ankles does that popping thing too…just something to live with, I think. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

i’ve added doing single leg barefoot romanian deadlift with a dumbell on friday night, and started doing sumo deadlifts again at a light weight. the sumo feels pretty good, and safe. i’m also wearing an ankle brace when i work it. a friend suggested i do quarter squat jumps, and that also seems pretty good. i just have to be careful when i do the actual jump to go at a very light pace.

but because of the year i spent studying wing chun in 2008, my muscles have been in a constant state of atrophy so i cant lift more than 10lbs. :smiley:

BOOM,
UR HEALD!

Where do you find this ****?

We need to convince them to put that in their magazine. Then I’ll have lots of entertainment at my gym while I watch all the tards give it a try

And her shirt makes it look like she was assaulted by a mechanic…

Greetings,

I am really impressed with what the person is doing in that photo.

I think she will make a perfect wife for bawang.

I think crossfit is a perfect solution for your ailment.

You can suffer a severe, crippling injury in a presently healthy part of your body and you’ll forget all about your ankle.

Hi wenshu,

I do not know who trained that lady, but she was given a very good foundation. Her form is perfect.

bawang would need a supply of flashlights because he would count her pubes often. He will have a name for each strand. :slight_smile:

ankle injury

Hi,
1.Isolation exercises are given to strethen individual muscles due to atrophy sustained with inflammation and edema.
2. Proprioception exercises have to be progressed slowly so as to not over train the area due to over use . This is due primarily along with instability with a Ligament Tear.
3. What degree tear is it 1, 2, or 3 . # is a full / complete tear.
4. Is there an evulsion / part of the bone along with the Lig Tear?
5. If the tear is incomplete try Gua Sha or ASTYM. It works great for this type of injury.
6. The bruising occurs primarily due to Micro Tearing and Vascular damage in the area that causes bruising.
7. Prolotherapy will help as well. It is a method to lay dawn tissue in a symetrical pattern and promote healing.
8. If you progress to quickly micro tearing can occur and weaken the area and thus promote instability. Hope this helped PM me and we can talk further if need be. KC
