Effects of the Neuroprobe in the Treatment of Second-Degree Ankle Inversion Sprains

Dr. Paris is Assistant Professor of Human Anatomy and Athletic Therapist, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada E3B 5A3.
Dr. Baynes is School Physician, Student Health Center, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403.
Ms. Gucker is a registered physical therapist in Eugene, OR.

This study compared the effects of standard physical therapy plus Neuroprobe Systems II NP 200 treatments with the effects of standard physical therapy treatments alone on second-degree ankle inversion sprains of 16 patients. The following data were collected: release day from treatment and measurements for both ankles over a 17-day period for plantar flexion-dorsiflexion and inversion-eversion range of motion, edema, and pain. When compared with the standard physical therapy treatments, the group that underwent Neuroprobe treatments showed significant differences in release day from treatment, range of motion for plantar flexion-dorsiflexion and inversion-eversion.
