Lateral ankle sprains are the most common orthopedic injury in sports—yet many clinicians rely on vague protocols instead of specific clinical reasoning. In this in-depth clinical webinar, we walk through how to build a comprehensive assessment and treatment framework that differentiates ligament involvement, grades injury severity, and guides loading and proprioceptive rehab strategies.

You'll leave with clear diagnostic tools, ligament-specific treatment ideas, and ways to improve outcomes in both acute and chronic ankle instability cases.

What You'll Learn:

  • Clinical anatomy and the roles of ATFL, CFL, and PTFL

  • How to differentiate ligament involvement during exam

  • What ligament end-feel can tell you about severity

  • Proprioception: what it really is (hint: not just balance)

  • Framework for loading ligaments based on tissue healing

  • Progression from acute phase to return to cutting/pivoting sports

  • How to address chronic instability and failed prior rehab

  • Case-based discussion of functional limitations
