Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Ankle sprains are common injuries, and when not properly treated, they can lead to numerous short- and long-term consequences. These outcomes can have significant impacts on joint health and joint stability. Given the importance of rehabilitation in cases of joint instability, plyometric exercises, whether isolated or combined with proprioceptive training, promote neuromuscular adaptations. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and analyze the effects of a treatment protocol combining proprioceptive and plyometric training. METHODOLOGY: This is a physiotherapy protocol consisting of 18 sessions conducted three times a week over a duration and follow-up period of six weeks. Functional tests such as the Star Excursion Balance Test and Side Hop Test were performed, along with specific questionnaires and scales to assess pain and instability. RESULTS: An improvement in pain perception and scores related to ankle joint instability was observed. Functional tests, such as the Side Hop Test, showed significant improvement compared to other tests. CONCLUSION: Plyometric and proprioceptive exercises proved to be promising, resulting in pain reduction and improved stability, thus justifying their importance and contributing to function, postural control, and both static and dynamic stability.
