Comparing Therapies for Acute Ankle Sprain Conventional Functional and Ankle Mobilization

The study ＂Comparing Therapies for Acute Ankle Sprain: Conventional Functional and Ankle Mobilization＂ by C Sivakumar compares two commonly used therapies for acute ankle sprain. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ankle mobilization therapy compared to conventional functional therapy in the management of acute ankle sprains.

The study involved 60 participants with acute ankle sprains who were randomly assigned to either ankle mobilization therapy or conventional functional therapy. Both groups received treatment for four weeks, and outcomes were measured using the ankle function score, pain score, and range of motion at the end of the treatment period.

The results of the study showed that ankle mobilization therapy was more effective in improving ankle function and range of motion and reducing pain compared to conventional functional therapy. The study suggests that ankle mobilization therapy can be an effective alternative to conventional functional therapy for the treatment of acute ankle sprains.

Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of different therapies for acute ankle sprains, and its findings can be useful for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking treatment for this common injury.
