Baseline values for outcome measures of treatment of acute ankle injury
| Group | Outcome measure | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Pain | Range of motion | Swelling | |
| Values are mean (SD). Pain is measured on a visual analogue scale (1–100). Range of motion is measured with a goniometer, expressed as the sum of dorsal and plantar flexion in degrees. Swelling is measured using a volometer, expressed in plain numbers, not mm3. | |||
