title: Rehabilitation of the injured ankle.
abstract: Stimulation of damaged sense receptors is essential to proper rehabilitation of the injured ankle. By performing exercises that induce movement and change tone and intra-articular pressure, especially in the weightbearing role, the ankle joint's periarticular structures are more likely to heal with functional strength and stability.
