Summary
In the present report, we show for a method we developed by applying the PAP IMI Device - Bio
Pulse Generator, for professional football players with ankle sprain, the time of recovery for the injured
players is significantly reduced. The method allows the players to come back to their athletic obligations,
in a significantly shorter time, which is usually before their next athletic meeting or activity.
(Short presentation is given below)
INTRODUCTION
The ankle arthrosis as well as the knee arthrosis are those that are exposed to the biggest danger in a
football match.
The reasons, which create sprains of the ankle, are due to the direct contact with the opponent, due to
wrong balance during racing on rough surface or even due to a loose arthrosis. Football players usually
during their training, but, mainly at the matches, back up their arthrosis with bandage or with selfadhesive
elastic bandages using the appropriate fascia.
The goal of this research is to reduce the time of return to the match for professional football player
that was subject to an automatic second grade sprain or after direct contact with an opponent had a second
grade sprain.
Sprain is the partial or the full brake of the fiber of one joint and particularly of their outer portions,
more specifically at the front portion which is known as the perone ankle joint. It is an injury of
resupination, adduction and is mainly due to the anatomy of the foot end, because the internal melleolus is
shorter than the exterior melleolus and the arthrosis is less supported during an ectropic (with the foot
inwards) injury, forcing the outer sprain to accept all the weight of the load.
