Kinesiology 4 week treatment plan for injury
Final Project
| Name: | |||||
| Injury: | 4 days old Lateral Ankle Sprain | ||||
| Healing Phase | Treatment Session | Treatment(s) | Outcome(s) of treatment | Treatment Parameters | Goal(s) Addressed |
| Inflammatory/ Proliferation | 1 | Cryotherapy- elevation of intemmitent compression. | reduce pain, reduce metabolism and swelling and limiting secondary injury. | mid-compression, 20 minutes | 1 and 2 |
| Biphasic e-stim | lower subaute edema | motor level, 20 minutes, 250 μs, long phase duration , duty cycle 50%, pulse frequency <10pps | 2 | ||
| 2 | Thrapeutic ultrasound | make tissues more permeable to therapeutic drugs | ultrasound of high frequency (1-10MHz), range of intensities (0-20 W/cm²) | 1 and 2 | |
| 3 | Low-level laser therapy | relieving pain | low power laser, low level light emmitting diodes | 1 and 6 | |
| Proliferation | 4 | Cryotherapy - ROM exercise + cold whirlpool | cytokinetics, alloww pain-free exercise | 20 minutes in a bucket full of ice at 50 degrees | 3 and 4 |
| Cryotherapy, IFC e-stim | reduce swelling and pain from exercises, prevent formation of swelling as well as disinhibitory effect | 20 minutes, at sensory level over the ankle joint | 3 and 5 | ||
| 5 | Diathermy | Stimulate generation of heat within tissues of the body, increasing flow of blood, pain relief, increased mobility of tissues during healing | High frequency electric current | 3 | |
| 6 | LED light therapy | boost production of collagen, treat or minimize inflammation and redness | wavelengths of UV-free LED light | 3 and 5 | |
| Proliferation/ Maturation | 7 | Thermotherapy -Moist heat pack | Increase flow of blood to the ankle, reduce pain | 20 minutes | 3 |
| Joint Mobilization | increase ROM free of pain | posterior join mobilization, 3 sets repeated 20-30 times, | 4 | ||
| 8 | Balance exercise | regain strength, restore normal proprioception | 20 sec of single leg balance on the floor repeated 10 times, if easy progress to foam. | 4 | |
| Therapeutic exercise | restoring and maintaining strength, flexibility, balance, stability and endurance, return patient to a state free of pain | 45 minutes of physical activity | 4 | ||
| 9 | Electric stimulation | treating muscle spasms and pain, building strength | general, muscular and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulations. | 4 | |

| Goals: | |||||
| 1) | To reduce the pain of the patient to less than 4 on the scale of 1-10. | ||||
| 2) | To reduce the swelling in the ankle of the patient by 2cm. | ||||
| 3) | To aid the healing of the tissues through provision of an optimal environment for proper healing and protecting the joint and assisting in creation of optimal metabolic conditions to prevent any setbacks. | ||||
| 4) | Restoration of Normal ROM. | ||||
| 5) | To maximize the excitable pool of neuron through disinhibiting AMI. | ||||
| 6) | To control bleeding and prevent any further infections. | ||||
