Abstract

Ankle sprain is managed by slab immobilization. Most patients recover but there haven't been any studies on effect of slabs on patient's comfort during treatment phase. We study effect of ankle sprain and slab on patient comfort. However main aim of this study was as an introduction and to study the use of a new discomfort/comfort scale (Faisal's discomfort/comforts core).Even without pain patients may be experiencing discomfort. Many other factors that cause discomfort are mentioned in our paper. Most scales compare the end results of the interventions. But our score can evaluate condition of patients during and after intervention.
