NCT ID NCT07344493
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measures normal ankle function in 96 healthy military personnel using the Ankle-Go test, which combines physical exercises and questionnaires. The goal is to establish reference values for soldiers, who have different physical demands than civilians. Results will help doctors decide when a soldier can safely return to duty after an ankle injury.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will provide baseline ankle function scores for healthy soldiers, helping doctors make better return-to-duty decisions after ankle injuries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (96 people) at a single military base, so results may not apply to all military personnel or other populations.
