Balance impairments in patients with a sub-acute ankle sprain receiving no exercise therapy: a comparative study
Open accessAbstract
Aim: To compare single-leg balance performance between subacute ankle sprain patients receiving no exercise therapy and healthy persons.Methods: Forty-eight subacute ankle sprain patients (age = 34.3±9.7 years) and 10 healthy persons (age = 30.1 ±4.7 years) participated in the study.Participants underwent an assessment of body functions and a 30-second single-leg balance test on a force plate under stable and unstable conditions.Center of pressure (COP) range, length and speed in mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) directions were calculated.Results: All healthy persons finished the 30-second balance test under both conditions.Forty-three patients (90%; P=.374) were able to complete the test on the stable surface and 38 patients (79%; P=.125) on the unstable surface.Ankle sprain patients showed increased COP AP speed compared to healthy persons for stable conditions (P=.009) and a larger COP AP range for unstable conditions (P=.001).Furthermore, muscle strength in inversion and eversion were correlated to COP performance (P<.050).Conclusion: Specific ankle strength exercises, including muscle strength exercises in the frontal plane, might improve balance performance in ankle sprain patients.

When any of these injuries occurs, the general therapy is immobilization of the joint and physical rehabilitation or physiotherapy, regardless of whether surgical intervention is required.
“When any of these injuries occurs, the general therapy is through immobilization of the joint and physical rehabilitation or physiotherapy [11–13] regardless of whether or not they require surgical intervention, as it is applied in any case.”
From Numerical Analysis of the ACL, with Sprains of Different Degrees after Trauma (2021) · cites this paper as [13]
The Procedures section (page not provided) reports that patients with grade I or II ankle sprains received a brace, RICE instructions, and pain-free movement. The discussion (page not provided) describes balance training as a common component of ankle-sprain rehabilitation. The paper does not establish that immobilization and physiotherapy are applied to all the injuries in question regardless of whether surgery is required; the study patients received no exercise therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
