No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute lateral ankle sprains (ALAS) account for 4-5% of all Emergency Department visits in Denmark. Up to 2/3 of individuals with a history of lateral ankle sprain have prolonged symptoms for several years after their initial injury. Exercise therapy has proven to be a cost-effective rehabilitation in treating ALAS and in preventing re-injury. Injury-map© is an exercise app designed for treating different musculoskeletal problems including ALAS. The app has currently not been tested in a clinical trial with patients suffering from ALAS. This mixed method pilot cohort study aims to investigate the use and preliminary effect of an exercise program on a mobile device in patients with ALAS. The exercise program is designed to be completed within approximately 3 months. However, participants will be followed as long as they complete minimum 1 exercise session per week. If a participant is inactive for two weeks they will be considered completed and contacted for follow-up assessment.

Interventions

DEVICE

App-based exercise rehabilitation

App-based exercise rehabilitation available on any mobile device and/or tablet using Android or iOS operating systems. The app Injurymap© is hosting the exercise program. The app requires user-registrations and a monthly paid subscription fee to access the exercise program. The participants in this study will not be charged for using the app. The exercise program consists of three phases with increasing difficulty. Each phase consists of several categories of exercise types. The categories are 1) mobility, 2) stability/balance, 3) strength and 4) stretching. Within each phase, there can be more than one exercise for each category. This makes it possible to adjust the difficulty of the exercises depending on user-feedback.
