What is the best post-operative protocol for ankle fracture? This question still has no clear consensus, especially in terms of driving safety. To evaluate driving safe, we used a well-known parameter called brake response time. Ankle fracture, Brake response time, FAAM score
Conditions
Interventions
Brake response time will be measured by standardized machine both non weight-bearing group and weight bearing group. All recruited patients will be assessed at three time points at 6 weeks, 12 weeks a
