Summary

This study checks if a new portable ankle tester can reliably measure joint looseness in people with healthy ankles, past sprains, or chronic ankle instability. Researchers will also test it on people with fresh ankle sprains over their first month of recovery. The goal is to see if this simple device can replace bulky equipment for diagnosing ankle problems.
