Early motion and directed exercise (EMADE) versus usual care post ankle fracture fixation: study protocol for a pragmatic randomised controlled trial (2018)
Journal Article
Matthews, P. A., Scammell, B. E., Ali, A., Coughlin, T., Nightingale, J., Khan, T., & Ollivere, B. J. (in press). Early motion and directed exercise (EMADE) versus usual care post ankle fracture fixation: study protocol for a pragmatic randomised controlled trial. Trials, 19(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-018-2691-7

Background: Following surgical fixation of ankle fractures, the traditional management has included immobilisation for 6 weeks in a below-knee cast. However, this can lead to disuse atrophy of the affected leg and joint stiffness. While early rehabil...
