Balance board for recent ankle sprain recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a balance board program you can do at home to help with pain and recovery from a recent ankle sprain. It lasts 28 days and includes virtual check-ins.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had an ankle sprain (rolling your ankle inward) more than 6 weeks ago but less than 6 months ago.
- You still have ankle pain with activity, rating at least 3 out of 10 in the last week.
- Your ankle sprain did not require surgery, a cast, or intensive rehab.
- You weigh 300 pounds or less and your foot size is within women's 7 to men's 13 (US).
- You have a smartphone or internet device for virtual visits and can do daily diaries.

This study is testing two types of training—blood flow restriction (using a cuff to partially reduce blood flow) and balance/position sense exercises—to help people with repeated ankle sprains regain stronger ankle control and better joint awareness. It may help you feel more stable and avoid future sprains.
This study tests if adding rhythmic music or sounds to special balance and stability exercises helps people recover better from a mild to moderate lateral ankle sprain (an injury to the outer side of the ankle). It may be a good option if your ankle sprain happened 2 to 8 weeks ago and you haven't had ankle surgery before.
This trial tests a type of physical therapy called Mulligan mobilization for recent ankle sprains. It may help you recover faster and restore ankle movement without surgery.
This study looks at how people with ankle sprains or knee pain stand and keep balance compared to healthy people. The goal is to understand the specific balance problems linked to each condition so that rehabilitation can be more targeted.
This study tests whether certain brain-based exercises (neurocognitive) can improve balance and reduce ankle giving-way in people with long-term ankle instability. If you have had a sprained ankle that still feels unstable, this might help strengthen your ankle control.
This trial tests whether a smartphone “recovery guidance” app can help children and young adults heal after a recent ankle inversion injury. It may help with home recovery steps and decision-making during the first days after injury.
