Purpose: To determine the effect of balance training in high school athletes after lateral ankle sprains. Subject: 60 male subjects aged 15-18 years

Methods: 60 high school male athletes in the age group of 15-18 years with lateral ankle sprain were assigned to training. Subjects of training group participated in a 4(four) week balance training program based on a compilation of the rehabilitation and balance validated and published in prior studies. SEBT and CAIT score were taken to measure severity of functional ankle stability during pre - and post- balance training programme.

Result: After balance training ,significant differences were found in reach distance of SEBT score in Anterior(A), Lateral(L), Medial(M), Anteromedial(AM), Anterolateral(AL), Posteromedial (PM) and Posterolateral(PL); whereas the reach distance in posterior(P) direction showed insignificant difference. Significant difference was noted in the post-training CAIT score

Conclusion: Balance training program significantly reduces the risk of recurrent ankle sprains in high school athletes with lateral ankle sprain.

SEBT and CAIT score were taken to measure severity of functional ankle stability during pre - and post- balance training programme.

Result: After balance training ,significant differences were found in reach distance of SEBT score in Anterior(A), Lateral(L), Medial(M), Anteromedial(AM), Anterolateral(AL), Posteromedial (PM) and Posterolateral(PL); whereas the reach distance in posterior(P) direction showed insignificant difference. Significant difference was noted in the post-training CAIT score

Conclusion: Balance training program significantly reduces the risk of recurrent ankle sprains in high school athletes with lateral ankle sprain.
