Average ANKLE GO Score in the Objective Functional Assessment of the Ankle in Healthy Military Personnel (ANKMIL)

France96 participantsStarted 2025-10-07

Plain-language summary

This research aims to establish reference values for the Ankle-Go score, a validated tool for functional assessment of the ankle, in healthy military personnel. The Ankle-Go score, already used in the civilian population after sprains or surgery, combines physical tests and subjective questionnaires to assess functional recovery of the ankle. No normative data currently exist for the military population, whose physical and operational requirements differ significantly from those of the general population. This is an observational, prospective, single-center study conducted at the 39th medical branch in Oberhoffen (5th CMA). It will include 96 active military personnel with healthy ankles, examined during their periodic medical visit. Participants will complete the full Ankle-Go test and fill out the associated questionnaires on the secure anklego.com platform. The data will then be analyzed anonymously to calculate a reference average and explore possible variations according to gender and age. These results will ultimately improve care and fitness-to-duty decisions after ankle injuries in the military. The total duration of the study is estimated at 8 months, including 6 months of data collection and 2 months of analysis.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
