IRCT20250503065584N1 IRCT 2025-08-07 Iran University of Medical Sciences The effect of rehabilitation on gait symmetry and regularity The effect of supervised rehabilitation on gait symmetry and regularity after acute ankle sprain 2025-08-22 anticipated 32 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/83292 interventional Randomization: N/A, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Single, Purpose: Treatment. N/A acute ankle sprain. Intervention Group:In this study, the intervention consists of supervised ankle rehabilitation. Supervised ankle rehabilitation refers to the use of electrotherapy and exercise therapy based on current guidelines. The rehabilitation program will be conducted over 10 sessions (approximately 3 sessions per week). The duration of electrotherapy in each session will range from 15 to 30 minutes (using TENS current). Each intervention session, which includes both electrotherapy and exercise therapy, will last between 1.5 to 2 hours.In general, the exercise therapy includes strengthening, neuromuscular, range of motion, and balance exercises. Strengthening exercises for the muscles surrounding the ankle will be performed using resistance bands of varying levels. Balance and proprioception training will be carried out using a balance board and other equipment..

Patients with a history of surgery or fracture in the lower limbs within the past year. Patients who had sustained an acute injury to the musculoskeletal structures of other lower limb joints within the past three months that affected joint integrity and function—such as a sprain or fracture—and had missed at least one day of their usual physical activity. Patients with neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), or neuropathy. Individuals who had experienced an ankle sprain within the past 12 months. In the treatment of ankle sprains, initial protection is typically provided for one to two weeks, followed by the use of bandages or tape, which does not interfere with our study. However, patients using foot or ankle orthoses were excluded from the study.
