Brief summary in lay language

The project aims to develop an evidence-based and functional training program for the conservative treatment of an acute lateral ankle sprain. As a long-term result, the recurrence rate and chronic symptoms should be reduced. Furthermore, appropriate biomechanical markers for measuring a functional ankle instability will be determined in parallel with the study.

Brief summary in scientific language

This research project is carried out prospectively and monocentric as part of a randomized controlled longitudinal study. The aim is to prove the effectiveness of a multimodal sensorimotor training intervention (SMART-Treatment, SMART) in contrast to standard therapy (Normal Treatment, NORMT) after an acute ankle sprain on subjectively perceived ankle joint function. The measurements are before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up. As part of an accompanying cross-sectional study, an effective diagnostic inventory will be determined for the valid measurement of functional ankle instability.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
SMART: Six-week intervention consisting of the following domains: S=Sensory Stimulation M=Mobility A=Activation & Balance R=Resistance T=Transfer to Function and Performance
Arm 2:
NORMT: Standard therapy (physiotherapy)

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT): Psychometric questionnaire which measures regional functional impairments of the participants. The measurements are before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up.
Secondary outcome:
- Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) - Isometric/Isokinetic strength diagnostics - gait/run analysis - jump analysis The FAAM is collected before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up. Isometric/Isokinetic strength diagnostics, gait/run analysis and jump analysis are conducted before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-month follow-up.
