Active clinical trials for "Ankle Injuries"

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.

The study compares valdecoxib 40 mg once daily vs. rofecoxib 50 mg one daily in treating the signs and symptoms of acute first- or second-degree ankle sprain. The study also evaluated the disability status, tolerability and safety of these treatments.

Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) is a valid patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to determine the presence of ankle instability (AI) and assess its severity. The aim of current study is to adapt the CAIT into the Turkish language, test its psychometric properties and determine cut-off score in the Turkish population with AI compare to healthy counterparts. In order to evaluate the Turkish version of CAIT (CAIT-TR), data will obtaine from 200-250 participants with and without AI. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, cut-off score, and ceiling and floor effects will evaluate.

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.

The purpose of this study is to compare the short term treatment outcome measures of the standard of care air cell stirrup brace to that of a high tide fracture boot in patients with lateral ankle sprains.

Ankle injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries account for 10% to 30% of all injuries and 5% to 20% of all time-wasting injuries. Athletes involved in sports such as football, basketball, and volleyball are particularly at risk for such injuries, largely due to the running and jumping activities involved. Basketball has one of the highest injury rates of any team sport, with 10 injuries in a 1000 hour period.

Purpose: To report the immediate and prolonged (one week) effects of elastic bandage on balance control in subjects with chronic ankle instability. Material and methods: Twenty-eight individuals successfully completed the study protocol, of whom 14 were randomly assigned to the elastic bandage group (7 men, 7 women) and 14 were assigned to the non-standardized tape group ( 9 men, 5 women). To objectively measure postural sway we used computerized dynamic posturography with Sensory Organization Test and Unilateral Stance test. We analyzed the following Sensory Organization Test parameters: the composite Sensory Organization Test score, the composite Sensory Organization Test strategy and the Sensory Organization Test condition 2 and its strategy. In addition, we studied the centre of gravity sway velocity with open eyes and close eyes during the US test.

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.

The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of ketoprofen gel in patients presented with ankle sprain to the emergency department.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diclofenac diethylamine 2.32 percent (%) gel applied twice daily versus diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% gel applied four times daily for 7 days in participants with acute ankle sprain.
