Abstract(s)
The ankle sprains represents one of the most frequent muscular-skeletal injuries in the physical therapy practice, specially at the acute stage, after the injury.The most common therapeutic modalities used to eliminate the pain and the inflammatory process in the acute stage are the administration of non-steroid Antiinflammatory drugs and the Ultrasound therapy. Even though the use of these type of drugs often brings some side effects related to it’s oral administration. The Transdermic administration of this drug in gel form brings some actual controversy about it’s deep penetration and therapeutic index.
