Rehabilitation Exercises Reduce Reinjury Post Ankle Sprain, But the Content and Parameters of an Optimal Exercise Program Have Yet to Be Established: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2019 Jul;100(7):1367-1375.7 studies were included in this meta-analysis comparing exercise-based rehabilitation plus usual care to usual care alone for the prevention of re-injury following acute ankle sprain.
