Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: An ankle sprain is where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle are partially or completely torn. An ankle sprain is a common injury. Inversion-type, lateral ligament injuries represent approximately 85% of ankle sprain. The incident of ankle sprain is highest in sports population. Poor rehabilitation after an initial sprain increases the chances of this injury recurrence. Objective: To find out the effect of ultrasound and laser on functional performance in patients with acute ankle sprain. Materials and methodology: Total number of 38 both genders males and females participants between the age18-35 years with ankle sprain patients were selected by customized sampling. Scoring scale for subjective and functional follow-up evaluation after ankle injury was used to assess pain in ankle sprain patients. Results: After comparing pre and post intervention data using paired and unpaired t test results showed, there was significant improvement in pain (p<0.0001) in Group A. Conclusion: In this study we concluded that therapeutic ultrasound is more effective than LASER in ankle sprain patients.
