Relationship Between Ankle Invertor H-Reflexes and Acute Swelling Induced by Inversion Ankle Sprain

Abstract

Grade I or II inversion sprains and the related swelling appear to delay involved ankle flexor digitorum longus latency to a greater extent than peroneus longus latency. Clinicians need to direct greater attention to the ankle invertors when designing and implementing ankle rehabilitation programs, particularly during the swelling management phase of treatment.
