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.
