Ankle and Foot Support

Ankel- og fodstøtte

(7 produkter)
Alle ved, at det gør ondt at forstuve foden. I værste fald kan det tage lang tid, før man kan støtte helt på foden. En rigtig god ankelbandage eller ankelstøtte, der støtter anklerne, kan bruges til både forebyggelse og genoptræning af ankelskader.

HVAD GØR EN ANKELBANDAGE?
Det, en ankelbandage gør, er, at den hjælper med at øge blodcirkulationen og reducere stivhed i leddet. De holder også leddet varmt og bevægeligt for at lindre smerter og undgå forstrækninger. De fleste bandager passer til begge fødder og bæres over den ankel, der har brug for støtte. En ankelbandage kan også bruges som en forebyggende foranstaltning.

ANKLE SUPPORTS AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE.

An ankle support or ankle brace is also very effective and useful for preventive purposes. This is particularly true for sports that are intense and involve a lot of footwork, such as tennis, padel or bandy. Many athletes who have experience of previous sprains and foot problems use ankle supports to avoid re-injuring their feet.

ANKLE BRACE OR COMPRESSION WRAP?

Wrapping the foot with an ordinary gauze bandage is excellent and can be recommended, especially in the acute phase of the injury. But for those who are not so knowledgeable about the technique of wrapping, it may be easier, better and more convenient to use a ready-made ankle protector relatively early in the rehabilitation process where the protector is pulled over the foot.

ANKLE INJURY - THE DIFFERENT PHASES

Ankle ligament injury is one of the most common sports injuries and occurs in most sports. In orienteering, for example, more than half of all acute injuries are related to the ankle.

An ankle injury occurs when you step wrong, causing your foot to bend. The injury almost always affects the outside of the ankle where the ligaments are located. If the same joint is affected several times, this can lead to stretching of the ligament and loss of stability in the foot.

If you have sprained your foot and experience pain or swelling, it is always recommended that you see a doctor in order to perform an X-ray examination to rule out a fracture.

PHASE 1 - THE MOMENT OF INJURY

Immediately stop the activity you are doing.

Take a compression bandage and wrap it tightly around the injury to stop the swelling and bleeding. Try to wrap as tightly as possible. Do this as quickly as possible after the injury. Every minute counts! Tip: always keep a compression bandage in your gym bag. If you're not the one suffering, someone else might need it!

Keep your foot elevated and cool your ankle.

PHASE 2- ACUTE PHASE (FIRST DAYS AFTER THE INJURY)

Keep the wrap on even during the first 2-3 days. Decrease the pressure slightly and load very gently.

PHASE 3 - FIRST TWO WEEKS AFTER INJURY

Gradually try to load the injured foot. Depending on the severity of the injury, loading may be limited at first (walking with crutches). A very good exercise is toe raises in water. The water carries some of the body weight and reduces the load. In addition, the pressure of the water helps to reduce swelling.

PHASE 4 - RECONSTRUCTION PHASE AFTER THE ANKLE INJURY

Get help from a professional to develop an exercise programme tailored to your ankle injury. There are many good and simple rehab exercises that do not require equipment. For example, toe raises or various balance exercises.

As soon as you can and dare, it is good to resume as much physical activity as possible. In this phase, it may be advisable to use an ankle brace that stabilises the foot and allows you to put weight on it. It is also possible to continue using a compression bandage for support.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING REPEATED ANKLE INJURIES

Exercise. Practise strength and coordination regularly.

Warming up. Warm up properly before playing sports. Use liniment as a preventive measure before you start exercising.

Stretching: Stretch after exercise.

Shoes. Wear shoes that are adapted to the surface you are exercising on. Remember to tie your shoelaces.

Ankle protection as a preventive measure. An ankle brace or ankle protection is very effective and good to use as a preventive measure. This is especially true for sports that are intense and involve a lot of footwork, such as tennis, padel or bandy. Many athletes who have experience of previous sprains and foot problems use ankle supports to avoid re-injuring their feet.

What is the purpose of an ankle and foot support?

An ankle and foot support, such as an ankle brace, helps to increase blood circulation and reduce stiffness in the joint. It keeps the joint warm and mobile, alleviating pain and preventing overstretching. These supports can be used both for rehabilitation and as a preventive measure to avoid injuries during intense sports activities.

When should I use an ankle brace instead of a compression wrap?

While a compression wrap is excellent, especially during the acute phase of an ankle injury, an ankle brace is easier and more convenient for longer-term use. It offers consistent support while being more straightforward for those unfamiliar with proper wrapping techniques. Transitioning to a brace is recommended in the rehabilitation phase for continued support.

What steps should be taken immediately after an ankle injury?

Upon sustaining an ankle injury, stop any activities immediately. Wrap a compression bandage tightly around the injury to manage swelling, and elevate and cool your ankle. Maintaining the wrap for the first few days helps with recovery. It's crucial to seek medical evaluation to rule out fractures, particularly if there is persistent pain or swelling.

How can I prevent repeated ankle injuries?

To prevent repeated ankle injuries, engage in regular strength and coordination exercises. Warm up adequately before sports, use liniment as a preventive measure, and perform post-exercise stretching. Wearing suitable shoes for the activity surface and using ankle supports are also effective strategies, especially for sports involving intensive footwork.

ANKELBIND SOM EN FOREBYGGENDE FORANSTALTNING

En ankelstøtte eller ankelbind er også meget effektiv og nyttig i forebyggende øjemed. Det gælder især for sportsgrene, der er intense og involverer meget fodarbejde, såsom tennis, padel eller bandy. Mange atleter, der har erfaring med tidligere forstuvninger og fodproblemer, bruger ankelbandager for at undgå at skade deres fødder igen.

ANKELBBIND ELLER KOMPRESSIONSBANDAGE?

At pakke foden ind i en almindelig gazebind er udmærket og kan anbefales, især i den akutte fase af skaden. Men for dem, der ikke er så kyndige i teknikken med at pakke ind, kan det være lettere, bedre og mere praktisk at bruge en færdiglavet ankelbeskytter relativt tidligt i genoptræningsprocessen, hvor beskytteren trækkes over foden.

ANKELSKADE - DE FORSKELLIGE FASER

Ledbåndsskader i anklen er en af de mest almindelige sportsskader og forekommer i de fleste sportsgrene. I orienteringsløb, for eksempel, er mere end halvdelen af alle akutte skader relateret til anklen.

En ankelskade opstår, når man træder forkert, så foden bøjer. Skaden rammer næsten altid ydersiden af anklen, hvor ledbåndene sidder. Hvis det samme led rammes flere gange, kan det føre til forstrækning af ledbåndet og tab af stabilitet i foden.

Hvis du har forstuvet din fod og oplever smerter eller hævelse, anbefales det altid, at du går til lægen for at få foretaget en røntgenundersøgelse for at udelukke et brud.

FASE 1 - SKADESØJEBLIKKET

Stop straks den aktivitet, du er i gang med.

Tag en kompressionsbandage og vikl den stramt omkring skaden for at stoppe hævelse og blødning. Prøv at vikle så stramt som muligt. Gør dette så hurtigt som muligt efter skaden. Hvert minut tæller! Tip: Hav altid en kompressionsbandage i din sportstaske. Hvis det ikke er dig, der lider, er der måske en anden, der har brug for det!

Hold foden hævet, og køl anklen ned.

FASE 2- AKUT FASE (DE FØRSTE DAGE EFTER SKADEN)

Behold bandagen på selv i de første 2-3 dage. Reducer trykket en smule og belast meget forsigtigt.

FASE 3 - DE FØRSTE TO UGER EFTER SKADEN

Forsøg gradvist at belaste den skadede fod. Afhængigt af skadens sværhedsgrad kan belastningen være begrænset i starten (gå med krykker). En rigtig god øvelse er tåhævninger i vand. Vandet bærer noget af kropsvægten og reducerer belastningen. Desuden hjælper trykket fra vandet med at reducere hævelsen.

FASE 4 - GENOPBYGNINGSFASEN EFTER ANKELSKADEN

Få hjælp af en professionel til at udvikle et træningsprogram, der er skræddersyet til din ankelskade. Der findes mange gode og enkle genoptræningsøvelser, som ikke kræver udstyr. For eksempel tåhævninger eller forskellige balanceøvelser.
Så snart du kan og tør, er det godt at genoptage så meget fysisk aktivitet som muligt. I denne fase kan det være en god idé at bruge en ankelskinne, som stabiliserer foden og giver dig mulighed for at lægge vægt på den. Det er også muligt at fortsætte med at bruge en kompressionsbandage som støtte.

TIPS TIL AT UNDGÅ GENTAGNE ANKELSKADER

Træn. Træn styrke og koordination regelmæssigt.

Varm op. Varm ordentligt op, før du dyrker sport. Brug liniment som en forebyggende foranstaltning, før du begynder at træne.

Udstrækning: Stræk ud efter træning.

Sko. Brug sko, der er tilpasset det underlag, du træner på. Husk at binde dine snørebånd.

Ankelbeskyttelse som en forebyggende foranstaltning. En ankelskinne eller ankelbeskyttelse er meget effektiv og god at bruge som en forebyggende foranstaltning. Dette gælder især for sportsgrene, der er intense og involverer meget fodarbejde, såsom tennis, padel eller bandy. Mange atleter, der har erfaring med tidligere forstuvninger og fodproblemer, bruger ankelstøtter for at undgå at skade deres fødder igen.
