Filter by:Lack of current consensus on the therapeutic management of low-grade osteo-ligament injuries in ankle trauma in children. Several types of immobilization are evaluated in the literature, with different conclusions. Some teams recommend a functional treatment similar to the adult (with or without strict immobilization), others remain on standard rigid immobilizations. The goal of the study is to simplify and homogenize the therapeutic management of low-grade osteo-ligament injuries in ankle trauma in children.
Reducing pain and recovery of strength and function are major challenges in physical therapy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel intervention that has gained popularity in the rehabilitation of athletic injuries, pain management, and sports performance. Acute application of tDCS has been shown to modulate the perception of effort and fatigue, enhance motor learning, improve endurance performance, and improve muscular power and strength. tDCS has also been shown to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain conditions. Using a double-blind, randomized clinical trial design, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of tDCS plus standard rehabilitation compared to rehabilitation alone on pain, balance and proprioception, functional performance, and strength following acute ankle inversion sprain. We hypothesize that the group using tDCS will demonstrate superior outcomes in all variables of interest.
Decathlon has developed Ankle STRONG products which are medical devices that must be positioned around the ankle to limit ankle sprain occurrence. The Ankle STRONG devices cover a range of 3 products (Ankle STRONG 100/500/900). The differences between the devices is based on the strength of compression and the ankle maintain. The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon Ankle STRONG products to demonstrate safety and performance of these devices in a real-world setting.
Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal complaint of children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Healing can often be protracted, leading to prolonged pain, missed school and work, and delayed return to a normal activity level. Smartphone apps have been shown to be associated with greater caregiver knowledge and improved outcomes in a number of conditions but have not been explored in ankle sprains. The investigators would like to know if using a smartphone app for children with ankle inversion injuries leads to improved functional outcomes such as pain, mobility, and return to activity. The investigators will be comparing a smartphone app that provides education and daily management reminders to a paper handout to see if the former leads to improved functional recovery.
This study evaluates whether the use of Kinesio Tape® in combination with a standard exercise program improves muscle function in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Twenty participants will receive Kinesio Tape® and perform an ankle exercise program, while twenty will perform the ankle exercise program without Kinesio Tape®.
This pilot study will establish the preliminary effect and safety of using Spraino® to prevent lateral ankle sprains amongst athletes competing in indoor sports at sub-elite level, with a one-year follow-up. All recruited participants will have a history of lateral ankle sprain in the preceding 24 months prior to the initiation of the trial. Half of the included participants will receive Spraino® to prevent lateral ankle sprains (intervention group). The other half will receive no intervention ("do-as-usual" control group). Both groups will be permitted to continue or initiate any usual care of their choice, except Spraino® in the control group. Short Message Services (SMS) will be used for registration of injury and exposure.
This study evaluates the use of corticosteroids acutely as an adjuvant treatment of the high ankle sprain. Subjects will receive either a corticosteroid or a local anesthetic injection.
The safety and the efficacy of the Esflurbiprofen Hydrogel Patch will be assessed in comparing with placebo in the treatment of acute pain due to ankle sprain
The purpose of the study is to determine if patients wearing a CAM walker boot have a change in weight compared to patients who wear a CAM boot and are provided nutritional and upper body exercise information.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to assess the efficacy and safety of K-103-IP compared with placebo patch for treatment of mild to moderate acute pain associated with ankle strain or sprain.
