Summary
This study tested whether adding TECAR therapy (a device that uses electrical currents) to standard exercises improves balance, pain, and daily function after an acute ankle sprain. 42 adults with grade I or II sprains were split into two groups: one did exercises alone, the other did exercises with TECAR therapy for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination leads to better recovery.
