Abstract
* Ankle sprains are common injuries in healthy, active adults, especially those who engage in athletics or high-intensity training.
* Research assessing the effects of sustained index ankle sprains demonstrates a high risk of subsequent injuries, which may lead to chronic ankle instability.
* Numerous studies have isolated risk factors and mitigation techniques, which may alter the progression of instability and decreased performance associated with ankle injuries.
* Enrollment in adequate rehabilitation programs focused on restoration of joint biomechanics and sensorineural control is essential in minimizing progressive instability.
* The evaluation, special testing, and progressive spectrum of non-surgical and surgically invasive treatment options are discussed.
