The purpose of the thesis was to collect new information about syndesmotic ankle sprain treatment with therapeutic exercises, criteria to progression between rehabilitation phases and overall fitness maintenance during the rehabilitation. Most effective therapeutic exercise methods used in syndesmotic ankle sprain rehabilitation and ankle re-injury prevention were identified. As a result of collected data analysis the exercise package can be created and accommodated to be used in injury prevention and rehabilitation for ice hockey players.
A literature search was conducted on PubMed and EBSCO database. The literature analyzed in thesis was published between years 2000-2013.
The theoretical part of thesis consists of description of ice hockey, ankle anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics, ankle injury and ankle sprain epidemiology in sports and ice hockey. Ankle injury incidence in ice hockey is described. The rehabilitation models and progressions in syndesmotic sprain are explained. The main outcome of the study is the guidelines how rehabilitation should be progressed to avoid complications and provide full recovery with minimal time. Increased knowledge which is based on the collected data makes it possible to create the more effective therapeutic exercise programs for ice hockey players.
