Summary

the effect cryo-ultrasound therapy and LASER therapy on the short-term recovery of tennis players with acute lateral ankle sprains.

Detailed description

Acute lateral ankle sprains are common injuries among athletes, but the optimal treatment strategies in elite athletes are still debated. This proof-of-concept study aimed to assess the impact of cryo-ultrasound therapy and LASER therapy on the short-term recovery of tennis players with acute lateral ankle sprains.

Conditions

• Ankle (Ligaments); Instability (Old Injury)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	group A will receive cryo-ultrasound therapy combined with conventional physical therapy for two months	Cryo-ultrasound therapy combines two therapeutic methods: cryotherapy (using cold) and ultrasound (using sound waves). The ultrasound component provides a therapeutic heating effect, improving blood circulation and tissue flexibility, while the cold component reduces pain and inflammation
DEVICE	LASER therapy	group B will receive LASER therapy combined with conventional physical therapy.
