Joint inflammation results from soft-tissue injuries and cartilage damage. PRICE is the standard treatment approach for acute soft tissue injuries like ankle sprain. Electrical stimulation, application of orthotic braces, etc. is also effective for this. In a synergistic device all these components are combined and applied simultaneously. This device was developed for joint inflammation and tested for grade I & II acute ankle joint sprain. To test a synergistic - semirigid device, combining PRICE & electrical stimulation for acute ankle sprains of grades I & II for pain, range of motion and swelling is a case series was the objective. Device was developed using novel concept of synergistic applications of PRICE with electrical stimulation. The joint contour of ankle and specific bio-mechanical bony surface landmarks were considered. Ethical approval was taken from NTCC committee, AIPT. Recordings were taken from eight patients of acute ankle sprain with - in two days of injury, after getting ethical approval. Elevation to the ankle was provided by keeping the part over the pillow and data was recorded with the help of: 1.VAS scale for pain; 2. Measuring tape; 3. Goniometry. t-test was used to find out the significant difference pre and post the application of device. There was a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.006), edema (p = 0.011), dorsi-flex-ion (p = 0.015), and plantar flexion (p=0.008). The synegistic device has been effective for acute ankle inflammation - grade I & II ankle sprains in 5 sessions; sufficient for the return of function.
