Sprained your ankle? In the Ankle Sprain application you are given guidance, in pictures/text/voice on acute care of this injury.
Ankle sprain is absolutely one of the most common injuries in sport and exercising. It is also one of the injuries where it is possible to dramatically reduce the time the sportsperson/exerciser is away from his/her activity, by correctly applying acute treatment.
The Ankle Sprain Free iPhone application describes, with illustrations and instructive text, the handling of an ankle sprain in acute care. The bandaging also contains text from a speaker’s voice so that instructions can be seen and heard whilst at the same time participating in practical exercises.
This application has been developed by Bodynfo in collaboration with two of Sweden’s leading experts in handling acute sports injuries and their successful rehabilitation, Annica Näsmark, a physiotherapist, and Tommy Eriksson, a chiropractor.
Annica Näsmark: A private practising physiotherapist who has worked with the Swedish National lady’s team, the girls- and youth team in football for many years. She has considerable experience in educating football trainers and in the rehabilitation of injuries sustained by active football players. She is a member of the Medical Committee of the Swedish Football Association.
Tommy Eriksson: A chiropractor with experience working with three of Sweden’s National teams: football, skiing and athletics for 20 years. During the Athletics World Championships in Helsinki he was the one who successfully taped Carolina Klüft’s sprained ankle when she took gold in the pentathlon.
Bodynfo:
Torsten Larsson: Concept and text. Private practising physiotherapist with many years of experience in sports injuries. He also works with information and training material in his own company Bodynfo.
Bertil Nordström: Illustrator with 25 years experience in the industry and specializing in his much appreciated illustrations of the human body.
The Ankle Sprain application has been designed, on the basis of the combined knowledge and experience of the authors, to give practical support in acute care, rehabilitation exercising and taping after an ankle sprain. There is also advice in the material about when it is appropriate to return to exercise/sport after an ankle sprain.
