In this study the short-and long-term effectiveness of conventional treatment combined with supervised exercises compared with conventional treatment alone in patients with an acute ankle sprain is evaluated.
Study objective
Supervised exercises combined with conventional treatment will have a positive effect on experienced recovery and occurrence of re-sprains at 3 and 12 months follow-up compared to conventional treatment alone
Study design
3 and 12 monyhs follow-up
Intervention
Supervised exercise:
Individual and progressive training programme supervised by a physiotherapist usng a standardised protocol. Max. of nine half-hour sessions, witin a period of 3 months.
