Seventeenth-century English surgery: the casebook of Joseph Binns
Published in Christopher Lawrence, Medical Theory, Surgical Practice, 2018
In addition to the serious injuries described above, Binns treated a number of patients for sprains, bruises and relatively minor burns. One sprained ankle yielded quickly to several days of hot ointments and soaking, combined with a stiff plaster. In a more stubborn case, a repeatedly sprained ankle resisted a long and varied course of treatment which included fomentations, purges, plasters, a laced stocking and a trip to Bath. The patient remained uncured.57 Bruises usually responded after several applications of oils and plasters. However, some bruises apostemated, requiring the more complicated treatment described below.
The human experience of pain
Published in Nan Stalker, Pain Control, 2018
Within this session we have identified that there are two types of pain — acute and chronic — and that there can be an overlap of both as identified in the example of a sprained ankle. It is thought that different types of pain are mediated by different nociceptors which in turn are associated with different nerve fibres that carry the sensory information back to the spinal cord. Nociceptors are specialised receptors closely associated with particular sensory nerves which are located in the neural membranes of the terminal fibres of the primary sensory neurones.

Currently, it has been shown that 70% of patients with an acute LAS return to their sport or activity within 3 days [31]. One theory for this relatively early return is that the acute inflammation phase of tissue healing only lasts for approximately 3 days [64]. During the acute inflammation phase, the ankle joint is often characterized as painful due to the chemical reactions and swelling associated with tissue healing [64]. We theorize that once the patient moves out of the acute inflammation phase the reduction in pain stemming from a cessation of chemical processes provides patients with a false sense of healing. At this time, treatments such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and external ankle support devices (braces and tape) allow patients to participate in their previous sport or activity relatively pain-free. Consequently, these patients have a 30% chance of reinjuring their previously sprained ankle [65]. We believe the high recurrence rate of LAS is most likely due to the injured tissue not being fully healed prior to return to sport and many of the aforementioned impairments.
Can hippotherapy make a difference in the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy? A pragmatic study

Exclusion criteria were 1) any orthopedic or medical condition not related to spastic cerebral palsy but that could affect motor ability (e.g. sprained ankle); 2) previous hippotherapy experience or horseback riding experience; 3) uncontrolled seizures; 4) allergies or aversion to horses; 5) expected implementation of new treatments (e.g. botulinum toxin injections or surgery) within 1 month of the start of the study or within the study period; and 6) insufficient hip mobility to sit astride a therapy horse.
Functional rehabilitation of the neck
Published in Physical Therapy Reviews, 2020
As discussed above, impairment-based approaches appear to have some utility and effectiveness in the assessment and management of neck pain. The above narrative review highlights that current approaches to neck pain may be falling short of providing a functional approach as utilised in rehabilitation of the sprained ankle or following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, for example.
