Introduction

The current model in chronic ankle rehabilitation is based on a biopsychosocial model of function, disability, and health, integration of perception and the dynamics of skills acquisition. However, current treatment protocols for ankle sprains do not always follow this model. This course discusses the history of the rehabilitation of ankle sprains and the need for a paradigm shift. The clinician will learn how ankle pathomechanics, sensation and behaviour influence a patient’s perception and action. In part two of the course, the instructor presents a progressive exercise program for ankle rehabilitation.

Aims

This course aims to explain the perceptual-interdependence framework for ankle rehabilitation.

Featured reviews
First of all, the instructor of this course is highly likeable, and it is a pleasure to watch her videos. Second, this course was clinically relevant and hands-on, featuring the instructor showing the exercises. I appreciated her “layered” approach of fitting the exercise to the client’s abilities, starting with the basics. It is an excellent course that increased my understanding of working with people who have ankle sprains

It was a very informative, evidence-based course! The video section with the practical demonstration can benefit those practising in the clinical setting.
