Discussion
The results of this study can possibly lead to a change in
the treatment of ankle sprains. Positive results can offer
extended possibilities for implementation of the intervention
in usual care. Positive study results can also lead
to changes in the practical guidelines on the treatment
of ankle sprains. Furthermore, if the ‘Strengthen your
ankle’ App indeed does increase intervention uptake this
will provide the necessary validation to further develop
and enhance this promising role of new media in the implementation
of preventive measures and interventions.
