Exercise based interventions for physically active individuals with functional ankle instability: a systematic literature review.

CONCLUSIONS: Exercise programs focused on coordination, balance and proprioception appear to improve functional performance for physically active individuals with functional instability and reduce subjective instability. Exercise training presents as an option to improve postural control, joint position sense or recurrent injury rates. Further study is suggested in order to determine optimal exercise programs for specific sports populations. PMID: 30264973 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
