This RCT asked whether adding early therapeutic exercise in the first week after an acute ankle sprain improves outcomes compared to standard PRICE treatment. 101 adults with grade 1 or 2 sprains were randomized to an accelerated exercise protocol or standard PRICE care, with ankle function assessed weekly for 4 weeks and again at 16 weeks.
