All other clinical procedures were identical, and rehabilitation was supervised by the same team staff member. Time from injury to clearance to return to sport was tracked. Player experience with the ankle brace also was queried via electronic surveys. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The median time to return to sport was less for the Brace group (52.5\u00a0d) compared to the Control group (79.5\u00a0d), but the distributions of the 2 groups were not found to differ significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.109). Player surveys indicated they felt the brace to be comfortable or very comfortable, with better freedom of movement than other braces and the same freedom of movement as wearing no brace. All players reported wearing the brace to be the same or better experience as ankle taping. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Discussion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> These preliminary results indicate that the adaptive ankle brace is at least as effective as ankle taping for providing external support during the rehabilitation phase following acute lateral ankle sprain and suggest it may be a more effective ankle support solution in terms of patient compliance than conventional bracing or taping.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2023-0290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]],"date-time":"2024-07-31T20:13:52Z","timestamp":1722456832000},"page":"562-569","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparison of an Adaptive Ankle Brace to Conventional Taping for Rehabilitation of Acute Ankle Injury in Young Subelite Soccer Players: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Dirk","family":"Krombholz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SG Dynamo Dresden, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steffen","family":"Willwacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Advanced Biomechanics and Motion Studies, Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, Offenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Consm\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Betterguards Technology GmbH, Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Linden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Betterguards Technology GmbH, Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Burkay","family":"Utku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Advanced Biomechanics and Motion Studies, Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, Offenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4295-9917","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jessica","family":"Zendler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rimkus, Houston, TX, USA"},{"name":"University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"Sports Med","first-page":"73","article-title":"A systematic review on ankle injury and ankle sprain in sports","volume":"37","author":"Fong DT","year":"2007","unstructured":"Fong DT, Hong Y, Chan LK.
