Rehab stress fracture of 2nd metatarsal

[dihedral]

Hi All,
Can someone please tell me what’s the most up to date rehab programme for rehabbing someone who sustained a stress fracture of their 2nd metatarsal. Its 8 weeks since he sustained the fracture and he is now able to stand on his foot without pain, and wants to return to soccer asap. Alternatively if someone can recommend recent relevant research/studies into rehab of fractured metatarsals that would be very helpful also.

Many thanks

hi, before returning to football field, balance on one leg, proprioception of the affected leg must be enhanced, by using wobble board, single leg stance, lunges, carico run, sideway runn, brisk walk n jog, etc. dont forget to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the foot. follow by pylometric activities such as jumping and landing, fast jog/run, other rapid/quick response activities which always involved in football game..

dont forget to strengthen the ankle muscles s well.

hope all these are useful..
