Description
Victor-Luis Escamilla-Galindo and co-authors track ankle sprain recovery with heat imaging in a 2025 study. Sprains are among the most common ligament injuries in top level sport, yet return to play calls often rest on time alone. Heat cameras can spot side to side temperature gaps that mark inflammation and tissue trouble.
Records covered 26 ankle injuries during return to play. Right after injury, the hurt ankle ran about 0.59 degrees warmer than the other side. The gap first shrank clearly between three and four weeks, falling about 0.11 degrees per week. The pattern gives trainers a body based signal to time the return.
