Clinical Pattern Recognition- Ankle & Foot Pain
From anatomy to discovering the patient!
- Ankle joint accounts for 10% to 34% of all sport-related injuries, with lateral ankle sprain comprising 77% to 83% of these injuries
- The overall incidence of lateral ankle sprain may be underestimated because approximately 50% do not seek medical attention after injury
- 100% of 117 therapists who responded noted plantar fasciitis was the most common foot condition seen in the clinic
- In the athletic population, plantar fasciitis is a common injury reported by both high school, competitive and recreational distance runners
