Cast versus early movement for foot sprain recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of treating a type of foot injury called a Chopart injury. Half the people will wear a cast for 6 weeks, and the other half will start moving their foot sooner with a special boot and exercises, to see which helps people recover better.
