All about ankle complaints
Ankle complaints can be caused by overload, trauma or surgery. A common ankle complaint is a sprained ankle, but Achilles tendon complaints also occur regularly. You then have pain around the ankle or at the level of the Achilles tendon. This complaint can be treated well with physiotherapy.
The sooner you start physical therapy after a sprained ankle, the faster you will recover and be able to function without pain. During rehabilitation after a sprained ankle, the focus is on reducing pain and swelling, improving mobility, coordination, balance and strength.
In case of Achilles tendon complaints, it is first determined whether it is a tear of the tendon or overload. This can be mapped out well with ultrasound. If there is a large tear, we ask the GP for a referral to the traumatologist for further assessment and a plan of action. If it is an overload of the Achilles tendon, we immediately start with physiotherapy.
If you have had surgery on your ankle or Achilles tendon, it is important to start physiotherapy when the attending physician gives permission. The same applies after a period of plaster cast for an ankle fracture or Achilles tendon tear. The focus is on reducing pain and swelling, improving mobility, coordination, balance and strength. Fysioplein has extensive experience with this complaint. We can guide you well during your recovery.
We have developed a care plan especially for people with ankle complaints. The care plan is a personal treatment plan, in which your treatment process is tailored to your complaints. After performing a number of tests and completing questionnaires, it is determined which care plan is most suitable. There are special test and measurement instruments to measure the effects of the treatment.

Treatments for Ankle Complaints
Running analysis
During the gait analysis, your old shoes will be assessed. You have to walk up and down in front of the camera a few times to film and analyze your walking pattern. You then walk barefoot in front of the camera several times and, if necessary, in corrected shoes to judge the difference. The gait pattern is then assessed frame by frame to determine whether there is compensation from the feet, knees and/or hip/pelvis and appropriate shoe advice can be given.
