...Introduction The patient, a 20-year-old female ballet dancer, presented with pain in the lateral ankle, particularly in the anterior lateral malleolus and on the calcaneus, and swelling. Patient was examined immediately after the injury occurred. Upon examination, there were positive tests for both the talar tilt test and the anterior drawer test; greater than 10˚ and 8mm respectively compared to the uninjured ankle. Weight bearing on the injured limb was not possible for more than two steps; the patient experience great pain and described the sensation of her ankle “buckling.” A history was taken; the patient described rolling her ankle after landing on a colleague’s foot, and stated that she has had a lateral ankle sprain (Grade I) in the past. Patient was referred for radiographic (x-ray) imaging to rule out fractures and other ankle injuries. Patient was finally diagnosed with a Grade III ATF & CF ankle sprain. After radiographic and arthroscopic imaging was completed, it was determined that the rupture had occurred at the attachment point on the fibula for both ligaments9; an avulsion fracture was not found. Initial treatment performed on the patient consisted of the R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) method. Patient was wrapped with the foot in as much of a dorsiflexed position as could be tolerated, with u-shaped foam orthotics around both malleoli to help with compression and stability. Patient was informed of her options regarding surgical...

...the physiological function of body system due to injury and stress, increased the level of stress hormone will affect him from mood regulation and sleep. Restrained neuromusculoskeletal, movement-related functions from the injured left forearm, joint mobility, and stability are limited and affect all his activities throughout the day necessary to using left arm. Muscle functions, such as power, tone, and endurance are decreased due to swollen and pain full left arm. And decreased muscle function of the affected arm may limit all ADLs. And prolonged bedrest, he has high risk of developing bedsores, respiratory problem but n dysfunction on cardiovascular, hematological, immunological, genitourinary and reproductive function is reported. Goniometry will be used beginning, during, and before discharge of the therapy to measure how his ROM is improved after first assessment of how he is limited with ROM. Xavier’s Sensory function of vestibular is decreased and pain is increased. From sustained stress on thoracolumbar region, he may experience decreased balance and secure movement against gravity. Also his sensitivity level in temperature, pressure and pain might be increased due to sensitivity of open fracture area. In order to understand the pain level while he is performing activities, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) can be used. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is also helpful to test client’s pain level of performing activities. For testing movement related function Box & Block Test...
