when should functional rehabilitation occur once a patient has had an ankle or knee sprain?
Sprained Ankle: Rehabilitation Exercises. Ankle sprains are common injuries that can result in lifelong problems. Some people with repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems. Rehabilitation (rehab) exercises are critical to ensure that the ankle heals completely and reinjury does not occur.
