- 2015 December, “Los mitos más frecuentes sobre el esguince de tobillo”, in El Nacional:
- Si se trata de esguinces grado 1 o grado 2 "se utilizan métodos de inmovilización parcial, con el uso de tobilleras o botas especiales que le permiten a la persona conservar la movilidad en extensión y en flexión, y por lo tanto va a caminar sin la posibilidad de torcerse el tobillo"
- If it is a grade 1 or grade 2 sprain then "partial immobilixation methods are used, by means of ankle braces or special boots that allow the person to conserve their mobility while extended or bent, and as a result they will walk without the possibility of twisting their ankle"
