Mobile app for recovery after recent ankle sprains
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a smartphone “recovery guidance” app can help children and young adults heal after a recent ankle inversion injury. It may help with home recovery steps and decision-making during the first days after injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 12 and 30 years old
- You have a one-sided ankle injury diagnosed in an emergency or urgent care visit within the last 48 hours
- You can use a Wi‑Fi enabled iPhone or Android smartphone (with enough storage/memory to run an app)
- You can read and understand English at about a 8th-grade level (or you have a study interpreter if needed)
- Before this injury, you could walk on your own without a cane, walker, or similar device
- Your injury is mainly limited to one ankle (no other body parts or multiple limbs injured), and no confirmed fracture/dislocation is present (except a possible Salter-Harris type 1 growth-plate injury)
