Abstract

Performance of the subjects, before and after the selected exercise programme, was measured by the ankle performance standard questionnaire as well as the SLST balance test.Results: A significant difference was observed between pre-test average ( x 20.83 18.80) and post-test average ( x 57.5 7.53), (P<0.05, T=6.412) in the performance factor of patients with incomplete ankle sprain. As to balance, difference of the subjects’ pretest and post-test averages was reported equal to 5.5, (P<0.05) so that ankle performance and balance in standing on the injured leg for more than 55 seconds was improved 63% and 50% respectively, after the end of the exercise programme.Conclusions: The selected exercise programme including range of motion, strengthening, and balance trainings positively influences performance and balance in patients with incomplete ankle sprain.
