Abstract
Ankle sprains are some of the most frequent injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Sprains usually result from a joint being turned, rolled, or twisted the wrong way, often pushing it beyond its normal range of movement. The result is a torn ligament. The most well-known of these injuries is the sprained ankle. Slow to heal sprains often reveal themselves through chronic pain, stiffness, weakness, limited mobility, and poor flexibility. Minor sprains can heal themselves in a few days sometimes. More severe sprains may require surgical correction.
The most commonly prescribed treatments for a sprain include rest, elevation, and ice compresses to take the swelling down (RICE). And while these techniques work well in the short term, we may need other methods to rehabilitate a persistent injury.
Kinesiotape (KT) is a method that is used as an alternative to the more established taping and bracing techniques used for the prophylaxis and treatment of ankle sprains. Kinesiotape offers an alternative method to treat pain and swelling to help speed up recovery.
The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of RICE protocol and Kinesiotape during the treatment of patients with acute lateral ankle sprains.
Methods of the study: The study was conducted at the PI “Clinical Hospital” - Shtip, in the Department of Physical Therapy in Banja Kežovica, for a period of 1 month. The study involved 11 athletes with acute lateral ankle sprain without torn ligaments, which are divided into two groups.
Patients in the first group received conservative treatment and a RICE protocol. Patients in the second group, in addition to conservative treatment, receive taping in the ankle area.
Results: The primary outcome measurements is Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), European Quality of Life Five Dimension-Five Level Scale (EQ-5D-5 L) score
FAOS measurements were performed before treatment, 5 days after the first intervention, at the end of the treatment (after 1 month) and 2 weeks after the completion of treatment.
Conclusion: This study provide data regarding the efficacy of RICE protocol nad Kinesiotape for the treatment of acute lateral ankle sprain. The results may lead to insights into the usefulness of Kinesiotape in the treatment of acute lateral ankle sprain.
The FAOS is a 42-item questionnaire assessing patient- relevant outcomes in five separate subscales (Pain, other Symptoms, Activities of daily living, Sport and recreation function, foot and ankle-related Quality of life). The FAOS met set criteria of validity and reliability.
