NCT07025733

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if semiconductor fabric embedded in socks can improve healing after non operative ankle sprains. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.How does semiconductor embedded sock effect outcomes in patients undergoing rehabilitation from ankle injury?
  2. 2.How does semiconductor embedded socks effect injury symptoms and function throughout the course of treatment?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • FAOS Score

    Improved patient function compared to placebo group as determined by pre-treatment and post-treatment Patient Specific Foot Function Index Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) compared to placebo group. Range of Scores: \[0-100\], higher scores indicates a better outcome.
