The study included 73 consecutive patients between 15 and 55 years of age with an acute grade II or III ankle sprain, who sought medical care within 24 h of the time of injury. Patients with recurrent sprain were excluded. The patients were allocated at random to treatment with compression bandage or an air\u2010cushioned ankle brace (Air\u2010Stirrup, Aircast). The regimen included early motion and weight\u2010bearing in both groups. The patients were examined initially within 24 h, after 3\u20135\u00a0days, 2, 4 and 10 weeks after the injury by the following tests: clinical examination including range of motion, recording of postural sway by stabilometry, joint position sense test, isokinetic eversion\u2010inversion muscle torques and figure\u2010of\u2010eight running. A decreased active range of motion in eversion\u2010inversion was observed during the entire follow\u2010up period. Increased postural sway was registered when standing on the injured foot up to 4 weeks after the injury, as were a deficit in evertor muscle peak torque and an evertor\u2010invertor muscle imbalance compared with the uninjured side. Women demonstrated a greater impairment in postural sway than men. A longer curve running time with the injured ankle at the outside of the curve was noted at the 10\u2010week follow\u2010up. With the exception of running in a figure of eight, these measures were not influenced by treatment with a semi\u2010rigid ankle brace. The methods used in the present study are well suited for further studies of objective modalities of ankle joint function, with the possible exception of the joint position sense test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670050120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,8,25]],"date-time":"2002-08-25T03:30:30Z","timestamp":1030246230000},"page":"51-58","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Early influence of an ankle sprain on objective measures of ankle joint function"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Johan","family":"Leanderson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"Bergqvist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christer","family":"Rolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Per","family":"Westblad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"Wigelius\u2010Roovers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Torsten","family":"Wredmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Huddinge University Hospital S\u201014186 Huddinge Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]},"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050120.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s001670050120\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s001670050120","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T12:15:13Z","timestamp":1760876113000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s001670050120"}},"subtitle":["A prospective randomised study of ankle brace treatment"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s001670050120"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s001670050120","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1999,9]]}}}
