Abstract
Purpose:
Ankle sprain is the most common injury among athletes, often leading to ankle instability. Various training protocols have been implemented to treat ankle instability and improve the balance of athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the effect of exercise interventions on the balance of athletes with ankle instability.
Methods:
A comprehensive electronic search in the scientific database of Google Scholar, ISC, SID, Magiran, Irandoc and Ricest with a time range of 2001-2021 and the keywords including balance, postural stability, Chronic instability, functional instability and ankle sprain were used. The present study is a systematic review Method (PRISMA).
Results:
18 articles were selected based on inclusion criteria. Exercise interventions, applied in 94.4 of the studies, have significantly improved balance in athletes with ankle instability. Combined exercises (Perform more than one type of exercise in the protocol) have a greater effect on improving balance than separate exercises.
Conclusion:
It is possible that the reviewed training interventions, especially combination training, could become a major part of athletes' rehabilitation sessions. More research on combined exercises, women's and adolescents' sports in different genders and age groups could produce more valuable results.
