Ankle sprains are the most common form of trauma, with 2.2 million consultations per year in the United States alone (1).
In France, ankle sprains are a frequent occurrence, with 6,000 cases per day (2).
70% of individuals may develop chronic instability over a short period after the initial injury. (1) This is why appropriate treatment is essential.
Although it is the most common form of trauma to this joint, the ankle can also be affected by fractures and inflammation. More rarely, osteoarthritis can occur.
Launched in 2013 by Thuasne, the Malleo Dynastab® range offers innovative solutions for the stabilisation and rehabilitation of ankle sprains with its two emblematic models: the Malleo Dynastab® and the Malleo Dynastab® BOA®. In 2025, the Malleo Dynastab® range was extended with the arrival of the Malleo Dynastab® BOA® Open. Its distinctive feature is its posterior opening to ease application.
Sport is a healthy activity. However, it can also lead to injury. One of the most common is ankle sprains (1). This is where the RICE protocol comes in. It is a widely recommended method of first aid (2). It is used for the initial treatment of sports injuries. In this article, we will explore this protocol in detail. We will see how it can be your ally against sports injuries, but not only.
Ankle injuries are extremely common and ankle sprains (injury to the ligaments in the ankle) are one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries. Other injuries that may occur to the ankle include a fracture to the bone, tearing of the muscles and over-stressing a tendon.
