In this tutorial you will learn how to identify anatomical landmarks in treating of a sprained ankle, sprained elbow, sprained/fracture big toe, and how to correctly buddy tape the smaller toes. 
Note: In order for an ankle splint to be effective you must immobilize the metatarsal heads and make sure the bones above and below are immobilized, since it is a ligament injury to the joint. 
Note: If you sustain a fractured/sprained big toe do not hesitate to go the doctor because if it isn't splinted properly it can lead to bad effects.
Note: If splinting makes the pain worse take it off and use an ice pack put it 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off I recommend a Hot and Cold pack.
