Functional Ankle Recovery After a Telerehabilitation Program for Patients With Sprain in the First Level of Care, Controlled Clinical Trial and Cost-effectiveness Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating telerehabilitation for Ankle Sprain and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Ankle sprain is the most common sprain. Their care entails a high cost due to the incapacity for work that it generates. An early and timely intervention for the treatment of ankle sprain reduces the days of disability and functional recovery is faster. Strategies must be generated to provide timely care in rehabilitation. Telerehabilitation is a viable option to partially solve this problem. The purpose of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of functional ankle recovery after a telerehabilitation program in patients with sprain in the first level of care. Material and method: Controlled clinical trial, 92 subjects with grade 1 and 2 ankle sprain will be included; they will be divided into two groups, with randomized allocation. One group will receive usual care (n = 41) for ankle sprain and another will receive regular care plus telerehabilitation (n = 41) through a digital platform course, it will consist of video and written instructions. Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) will be measured at baseline and weekly, until completing 4 weeks. Group experience: The group is trained for the development of the contents and the rehabilitation program, with clinical experience in evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of ankle sprain.
