Best Practice Case Studies-Pain Guided Ankle Rehabilitation Program

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Tamar Brand Perez, a physical therapist and faculty member at SFSU and UCSF, discusses a pain-guided progressive exercise program. When patients experience over 3/10 pain, they start with isometric heel raises. Pain dropping below 3/10 allows for isotonic exercises and hip strengthening. After achieving 20 pain-free hops, patients transition to a double-leg hopping program, advancing to single-leg hops and eventually to a running program. Progression is based on personal history and current condition, maintaining high cadence, easy pace, and increasing volume by no more than 10% weekly.
