About this study
Official title: The Effect of Progressing Ankle Brace Restriction on Walking and Running Gait Characteristics in Healthy Individuals
A convenience sample of 20 participants, 18 years or older healthy individuals were recruited. Participants were excluded if they report being pregnant or being treated for a musculoskeletal injury. After explanation of the study and consent were obtained, each participant completed background information and the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Participants began by completing a 1 minute, 3mph walking gait assessment while unbraced, followed by a 2-minute, 6mph unbraced running assessment. Following the unbraced condition participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 4 conditions: [1] Active Ankle 329 Ankle Sleeve, [2] AS1Pro, [3] Eclipse 1, or [4] Eclipse 2. Participants placed an assigned brace on each ankle and then repeated the walking gait and running assessments. After this test the participants filled out a 10-item satisfaction questionnaire, and then were randomly assigned a second brace. The protocol was repeated until they have completed the walking, running, and satisfaction survey in all 4 brace conditions.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ankle BraceDevice
Each participant will complete the 1 minute walking and 2 minute running under 5 conditions [1] un-braced, [2] Active Ankle 329 Ankle Sleeve, [3] AS1Pro (a lace-up brace), [4] Eclipse 1 (single-upright brace), and [5] Eclipse 2 (double upright brace)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ankle Brace | Experimental | Each participant will complete a baseline analysis of 1 minute of walking and 2 minutes of running, repeated 4 more times wearing 4 different braces. The analysis will be completed on the Walker View Treadmill, which used 3D camera technology to capture lower body kinematics. The treadmill also has load cells built in to capture gait characteristics Receives: Device: Ankle Brace |

Change in Knee Flexion Range of Motion
Knee Flexion Range of Motion will be measured using the Woodway Walker View Treadmill which utilizes a 3D camera
Measured: Knee Flexion Range of Motion will be measured for the last 30 seconds of the 1 minute walk, and the last 30 seconds of the 2 minute run. It will be measured during each of the 5 conditions.
Change in Step Length
Step Length will be measured using the Woodway Walker View Treadmill which utilizes load cells within the treadmill belt

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
A convenience sample of 20 participants, 18 years or older healthy individuals were recruited. Participants were excluded if they report being pregnant or being treated for a musculoskeletal injury. After explanation of the study and consent were obtained, each participant completed background information and the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Participants began by completing a 1 minute, 3mph walking gait assessment while unbraced, followed by a 2-minute, 6mph unbraced running assessment. Following the unbraced condition participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 4 conditions: [1] Active Ankle 329 Ankle Sleeve, [2] AS1Pro, [3] Eclipse 1, or [4] Eclipse 2. Participants placed an assigned brace on each ankle and then repeated the walking gait and running assessments. After this test the participants filled out a 10-item satisfaction questionnaire, and then were randomly assigned a second brace. The protocol was repeated until they have completed the walking, running, and satisfaction survey in all 4 brace conditions.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ankle Brace in people with Ankle Sprains, run by Sport and Spine Rehab Clinical Research Foundation at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Ankle Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion Range of Motion (time frame: Ankle Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion Range of Motion will be measured for the last 30 seconds of the 1 minute walk, and the last 30 seconds of the 2 minute run. It will be measured during each of the 5 conditions.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2019.
