Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Ankle fractures are one of the most common lower extremity fractures. After surgery, the ankle joint is often immobilized in a plantar flexion position, and there have been many reported cases of limited ankle joint range of motion. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of regular massage interventions on ankle joint range of motion after removal of fixation.

Interventions/Control_1

In addition to regular physical therapy, the physical therapist administered a 3-minute massage to the plantar flexors at the cast- or splint-exposed areas. These three-minute massage interventions were performed twice a day, five times a week.

Results

Our results indicate that regular 3-min massage interventions of the plantar flexors could prevent the
progression of a range of motion limitations in postoperative patients with an ankle fracture more effectively
than regular physical therapy alone
