Optimizing Ankle Sprain Management in Primary Care: A Randomized Trial of Telerehabilitation Added to Usual Care
Telerehabilitation, as an adjunct to UC, significantly enhances functional recovery in AS, with particularly pronounced effects in grade II (moderate) sprains. However, pain reduction exhibits grade-dependent variability. These findings support incorporating telerehabilitation into primary care management protocols for AS.
