Article Synopsis
- Ankle sprains are common in sports, and using external ankle support during rehab is believed to improve recovery outcomes.
- A study involving 13 soccer players compared a novel adaptive ankle brace to traditional ankle taping during their rehabilitation process, tracking the time taken to return to sport.
- Results showed a shorter median recovery time with the brace (52.5 days) compared to taping (79.5 days), and players rated the brace as comfortable, suggesting it may be a more effective solution for ankle support.
