Entorse latérale de la cheville. Étude multicentrique d'un nouveau concept d'orthèse de cheville : l'attelle A2T

The study has found that the comfort wearing of the A2T with a stable shoe (such like trainers) has contributed to a better patient compliance (56% of the patients have stopped wearing the stirrup ankle brace but only 25% have stopped wearing the A2T orthosis between D7 and D25) and also that the patients have a favorable opinion of the A2T (93% of satisfaction but only 84% of satisfaction for the other orthosis). An improvement was witnessed in the resumption of walking without experiencing any pain (2 days saved) and without any worsening of laxity (looseness). The results of this study are encouraging. Nonetheless, it is a necessity to make another study on a longer period of time in order to confirm those results.
