A SYSTEMIC REVIEW ON ANKLE SPRAIN -AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The function of Acharya Sushruta is crucial in Ayurveda. In addition to becoming one of the world's first surgeons, Acharya Sushruta was also one of the first people to examine the human body. In the discipline of Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta was the first to explain the clinical significance of anatomical features such as the plexus, Sira (vein), artery, Dhamni (artery), kurcha (brush-like structure), and Asthi (bones). One of the robust and vital anatomical structures in the human body, the Snayu supports every joint in the body for its intended purpose. Similar to Snayu, ligaments and tendons are defined as human structures that are connected, respectively, by muscle and bone in contemporary anatomy. Snayu binds all the joints together. There are four sorts of Snayu based on their shape and location: Pratanvati, Vritta, Sushira, and Prithula. Since snayu and ligaments are quite similar, excessive stretching, ripping, or damage to the ligaments results in excruciating agony. The most frequent injuries among sportsmen and sportspeople are ligament injuries. Ankle injuries are the most prevalent type of ligament injury, happening to the knee, ankle, wrist, thumb, neck, or back.
