Musculoskeletal sprains and strains

Evidence Level B
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of <200 participants, methodologically flawed RCTs of >200 participants, methodologically flawed systematic reviews (SRs) or good quality observational (cohort) studies.

Reduction in ankle instability: there is medium-quality evidence to suggest that early mobilisation in ankle sprain, with the use of an external support, reduces risk of the ankle giving way when compared with minimal treatment.
