About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if semiconductor fabric embedded in socks can improve healing after non operative ankle sprains. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. How does semiconductor embedded sock effect outcomes in patients undergoing rehabilitation from ankle injury? 2. How does semiconductor embedded socks effect injury symptoms and function throughout the course of treatment?

Researchers will compare semiconductor embedded socks with typical compression socks to determine differences in healing.

Participants will be given the socks and be asked to wear them throughout the healing process and record symptoms and functional measures.
