The correct answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation

Rehabilitation has three main phases, the first of which is the first response to an injury, so the main objective in this phase is to defend the body against harmful substances, eliminate dead or dying tissue and promote the renewal of normal tissue. as well as alleviating pain, controlling the inflammatory response to injury and protecting the affected anatomical area. So you have to clean the wound, disinfect it, cover it, and in cases where it is required to put ice to reduce inflammation.

In the second phase the recovery of functional losses, so it is necessary to start making small movements in the affected area to reactivate its functions progressively.

The third phase is advanced rehabilitation in which functional training work begins with the aim of strengthening and putting the affected area back in a movement directed towards sports practice.

Therefore, the correct answer is False, because the inflammation control is done in Phase I and not in Phase II.
