Functional treatment of an inversion trauma, by means of taping the ankle, is a widely accepted method. In a prospective study taping was compared with a new bandage: the malleotrain. Hundred patients were randomised to a treatment consisting of either six weeks of taping or six weeks malleotrain. In the taping group 68% (95% confidence interval 53 to 80%) had very good and good results; in the malleotrain group this was 70% (95% confidence interval 55 to 83%). Of the patients treated with tape 74% (95% confidence interval 60 to 85%) were very satisfied or satisfied, treated with malleotrain 76% (95% confidence interval 62 to 87%) were very satisfied or satisfied. Functional treatment with either tape or malleotrain leads to good results. No significant difference can be found in results nor in judgement between examined groups.
