Morgan Soap Note

- The patient reported twisting her right ankle 2 weeks ago and experiencing shooting pain rated 8/10 during dance activities. On examination, mild pain was found with palpation of the ATF ligament and eversion. Range of motion was within normal limits except mild pain with right ankle eversion. Special tests were positive for mild pain with the anterior drawer test. The assessment was a mild right ATF sprain, possibly with a mild peroneal strain. The treatment plan included ankle taping, icing, a future strengthening program, and follow up in a few days.

ASSESSMENT:

accompanied by a mild sprain of the peroneals as well.
Differential diagnosis:
-ATF Sprain
-Peroneal Strain
-AITF Sprain
PLAN:
Patient has been advised to modify dance activities as needed. She has also been instructed to
ice as needed and to follow up in a few days to discuss a strengthening program. Her right ankle
was taped in order to see if she liked it and was comfortable with the taping. We also talked
about lending her an ankle brace. We will be creating a general strengthening program for her
and implementing it after this week's performance.
------------------- Treatment -------------------------------Modalities--1) Ankle Taping
Goals:
1) Reduce pain by 50% within 3-4 days.
2) Restore ADL function to 100% within 1 week.
3) Reduce pain by 75% within 3 weeks.
4) Return to full, painfree, IUCD activities within 4 weeks.
She noted understanding of all items discussed, voiced agreeance with the treatment plan
discussed, and presented no further questions or concerns.
