Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

22 young athletes with grade I or II unilateral inversion ankle sprain within 3 weeks of injury were randomized to plyometric training or resistive training for 6 week duration. At 6 week follow up, the plyometric rehabilitation following an acute ankle sprain resulted in significantly better functional performance than using resistive training alone.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
Ankle sprain is an extremely common form of injury leading to physical disability. Plyometric training has been widely applied to improve performance in healthy athletes and is also highly recommended in the later part of rehabilitation after lower limb injuries. After an exhaustive literature search, the authors determined that although the effectiveness of plyometric exercise has been extensively studied, its applicability in acute ankle sprain rehabilitation is yet unknown.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
Does a 6-week plyometric therapy offer superior functional and muscle strength improvement than resistive training in athletes with a lateral ankle sprain?
- Both groups significantly improved at the end of the 6-week intervention in all 4 functional tests (climbing down stairs, number of heel and toe raises, and single-limb stance tests) from baseline (all p<0.001).
- The plyometric group displayed significantly greater improvements than the resistive group for all functional tests (p<0.05).
- After 6 weeks, both the resistive exercise and plyometric groups had significantly increased peak torque for evertors and invertors compared to body weight at both 30 and 120 degrees/second, when compared to baseline (p<0.05).
- There was no significant difference in the improvements in peak torque for evertors and invertors compared to body weight between groups (p>0.05).
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
There was no significant differences in the peak torque of the ankle evertors or invertors; however, the overall functional performance following the plyometric training was significantly better than the resistance training.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
This study supports the use of plyometric training following acute ankle sprains. Muscle strength improvements were similar in both groups; however, functional performance was significantly improved in the plyometric group. The authors indicate that rehabilitation therapy took place 3 weeks following the injury.
