▼ The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of cryopress and cryo/cuff treatments on ankle edema and pain during and after three consecutive days of treatment in Division I varsity athletes. Sixteen male and female athletes, between the ages of 18-22, volunteered for this study and were randomly assigned to either cryopress (CP) or cryo/cuff (CC) group. Volumetric and figure 8 techniques were used to measure edema. A Visual Analog Scale was used for pain measurements. A 2x3 (group x day) Factorial ANOVA was performed on group data for each variable and the alpha level was set at 0.05 (p< .05). Results indicated a significant group x day interaction for figure 8 measurements (F 2,28 = 4.72, p = .02) and day main effect for pain levels (F 2,28 = 23.02, p = .00) but no significant results for volumetric measurements (F 2,28 = 2.27, p = .83).
