AIM: The aim of our study was to compare the effect of a plyometric versus proprioceptive training program on dynamic stability in subjects with functional ankle instability. METHODS: Thirty recreational basketball players with functional ankle instability were randomized between control (n = 11), plyometric (n = 9) and proprioceptive exercise groups (n = 10). Dynamic stability was evaluated from the Star Excursion Balance Test before and after a specific 4-week program. RESULTS: The plyometrics and proprioception groups showed similar significant increase in dynamic stability, unlike the control group. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The literature shows that plyometrics can also increase muscle power. Therefore, it could be a very useful rehabilitation technique in athletes with functional ankle instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II (randomized controlled low-power trial).
