Evidence Summary
Proprioceptive/balance training reduces ankle sprain rates, especially for people with prior ankle sprain history. Multiple meta-analyses support this as a prevention strategy.
Evidence Type: Systematic review + Meta-analysis + RCTs
Health Benefits
Reduces ankle sprain risk (meta-analytic support). Particularly effective for secondary prevention.
Cosmetic Benefits
Not a cosmetic exercise.
How It Works
Improves sensorimotor control, reflexive peroneal activation timing, and 'error detection/correction' at the ankle.
Contraindications & Safety
Primary prevention (no prior sprain) appears less consistently supported. Progression matters: stable → unstable → perturbations → sport-specific.
