Inclusion Criteria

Subjects who suffered a second degree of ankle sprain underwent 14 days of ankle joint immobilization with a plaster cast.

Exclusion Criteria

We excluded from the study: subjects who suffered degree I or III ankle sprains; subjects who suffered another associate injuries (like fractures); subjects with previous history of injuries in lower limbs that may impair performance on isokinetic tests.

Study & Design

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
After removal of the plaster cast, were obtained bilaterally evaluation of the maximal isometric torque of plantar and dorsiflexors obtained in seven different angles in an isokinetic dynamometer.[Within 24 hours after removal of the plaster cast.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
After removal of the plaster cast, were obtained bilaterally evaluation of the electromyographic signals of the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis and soleus muscles.[Within 24 hours after removal of the plaster cast.]
