Abstract
Ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries. Tens of thousands of ankle sprains are recorded daily, especially in athletes, but not only. This injury consists of stretching of ligaments or partial or complete rupture of ligaments. In this study it is proposed, based on a rheological model of the tissue of a ligament, to explain from a biomechanical point of view the effect of vibration on the body, which it have in the post-traumatic rehabilitation phase of an ankle sprain. The Bingham type viscoelastoplastic model with transition to the sliding phase at elongation and elastic return in the relaxation phase was analyzed. A vibrating platform was used for the case study in which it was possible to act on the vibration frequency, amplitude and exposure time.
