Prognostic Values of Clinical and Anthropometric Characteristics in Lateral Ankle Sprain Following Physiotherapy

Lateral Ankle Sprain (LAS) is a common injury in sports and daily activities. The present study aimed to determine the prognostic value of clinical and anthropometric parameters in predicting LAS recovery after physiotherapy. Twenty seven patients with acute LAS were included in this cohort study. First, prognostic factors and anthropometric variables were assessed, along with the time elapsed since the injury, pain score on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), navicular drop, ankle Range of Motion (ROM), and ambulation status.
