Brief summary
Ankle sprains are common injuries in active young people. Most of these injuries recovery quickly on their own, do not require imaging, and do better with early motion and rehabilitation. High ankle sprains and fractures are much less common but more serious. They may require imaging and more treatment.
Detailed description
Phases of rehabilitation for ankle sprain Phase I treatment involves resting and protecting the ankle to permit healing, to prevent further injury, and to control pain and swelling. Phase II treatment begins once pain and swelling have subsided to the point where the athlete can comfortably bear weight and walk from place to place. Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (i.e. video games) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training). Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality. Biodex Balance Training is one of the main tool that used to assess dynamic balance and dynamic limits of stability also it can used as training tool to improve the participant balance training

Masking description
Single (Outcomes Assessor) Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 (virtual reality group), group 3 (Biodex Balance Training)
Intervention model description
G 1 (control) received traditional physical therapy program for 60 min. G 2(study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and virtual reality for 30 min. G 3 (study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and Biodex Balance Training all groups treated for four successive months.
