Clinical Pearls for Graduate Physios

Tom is returning from a left lateral ankle sprain, with a significant history of lateral ankle sprains on both sides.

The main area for improvement in my eyes is Tom’s ankle stiffness; whilst not perfect on either foot, I feel he dropped more into a heel strike, more knee flexion and had less spring on his single leg drop jump (video 1 and 2). This reflected in his jump testing where his RSI (measure of springiness) was slightly down on his left

Tom’s working on these single leg drop jumps, as well as bounding (vid 3) to try get more spring on both sides .

Thanks to Tom for agreeing to be part of this !

Lana has been rehabbing a right lateral meniscus tear, and is nearing a return to running and eventually basketball, her main sport
Running on the treadmill, and in the clinic hallway, were both a little painful and looked a little hesitant , so we decided to instead focus on progressing her plyo (vid 2) and introducing change of direction mechanics (vid 3)
