Systematic reviews of 5 eligible trials (4 of modest<br />

quality, 1 of good quality) on a total of 572<br />

patients with acute ankle sprain.<br />

Systematic reviews of 9 eligible trials involving 892<br />

patients focusing on comparisons between lace-up<br />

semi-rigid, elastic ankle support and ankle taping.<br />

Systematic review of 21 eligible trials involving<br />

2184 patients and focusing on comparing rigid<br />

immobilization to functional treatment (semi-rigid<br />

contention in a brace or taping).<br />

Systematic review of 9 eligible trials involving 8279<br />

patients and focusing on prevention of ankle<br />

sprain by means of application of an external ankle<br />

support in <strong>the</strong> form of a semi-rigid orthosis (three<br />

trials), air-cast brace (one trial) or high top shoes<br />

(one trial); ankle disk training; taping; muscle<br />

stretching; boot inserts; health education<br />

programme and controlled rehabilitation.<br />

Systematic review Systematic review of 17 eligible studies focusing<br />

on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of exercise <strong>the</strong>rapy and<br />

manual mobilisation in acute ankle sprains and<br />

functional instability. In thirteen studies <strong>the</strong><br />

intervention included exercise <strong>the</strong>rapy and in four<br />

studies <strong>the</strong> effects of manual mobilisation of <strong>the</strong><br />

ankle joint was evaluated.<br />

Systematic review Systematic review of 7 eligible RCTs (6 of lowquality,<br />

1 of high-quality) focusing on comparing<br />

<strong>the</strong> effectiveness of conventional treatment<br />

complemented by supervised rehabilitation<br />

training (supervised exercises) with conventional<br />

treatment alone for <strong>the</strong> rehabilitation of acute<br />

lateral ankle sprains.<br />

questions of <strong>the</strong> Va form. Critical appraisal not pursued as<br />

quality seems unacceptable.<br />
