Did you sprain your ankle, but it still feels unstable weeks later? 🤔🦶
Many people focus only on the ankle during recovery, but research suggests the issue may also involve the hip.
Studies have found that people with ongoing ankle instability after a sprain often show reduced hip strength and movement control.
The hip helps guide the leg during walking, running, and jumping. If it is not working well, the ankle may remain unstable.
That is why good rehab often trains the entire leg, not just the ankle. 💪
