Compared to conventional physiotherapy, does the use of an ankle trainer device after Weber B ankle fracture operation improve outcome and shorten hospital stay? A randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSION: The patients who were treated with the new ankle trainer device recovered more rapidly, evaluated by the Olerud-Molander ankle score and had a shorter stay in hospital compared to the conventional physiotherapy group. No between group differences could be observed at long-term follow-up. PMID: 32526153 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
