Despite a sprained ankle being a common sports injury, the injury has a high recurrence rate and there is no adequate information on the decision to return to sport. Contact sports, both professional or amateur, have high rates of ankle sprain because of the ranges in speed, mobility, and direction change. The injury is predominant in older athletes during official games and the second half of a football match.
Swollen ankles in the elderly are known as lower extremity edema that often affects older adults. Foot edema is evident when the shoes become too tight or markings on the ankles from the socks. Swollen ankles are annoying and at risk of reduced mobility and skin breakdown, but what is happening inside the body? Although leg swelling is common, especially if you have been walking or standing for long, foot edema treatment is administered, if there is no known cause.
