If the ankle is twisted then you should apply a cold pack or ice to the ankle. And an important thing to remember is if you twist your ankle whilst wearing boots with ankle support, you should try and leave the boot on as it will be containing the swelling; and taking it off could cause further swelling.
A closed pack position refers to the position of a joint where the ligaments and other supporting structures are maximally taut, leading to the highest degree of joint stability. This position typically occurs when the joint is in its most congruent position, reducing its susceptibility to injury. In physical therapy, closed pack positions are often used to assess joint function and stability.

Open pack position refers to a joint position where the articular surfaces have the least contact, allowing for maximum movement and flexibility, typically occurring in a relaxed state. Closed pack position, on the other hand, is when the joint surfaces are maximally congruent and under tension, providing the greatest stability and resistance to compression. Each joint has a specific open and closed pack position that is crucial for understanding joint mechanics and rehabilitation strategies. These positions influence joint function, injury risk, and treatment approaches in physical therapy.
