Abstract: Background of the study: Ankle sprain is the common musculo skeletal injury in sports. It is due to inversion of a supinated plantar flexed foot. When roll, twist or turn the ankle leads to stretch or tear the ligament. It is caused by falls (ankle twist) poor landing during jumping, playing.Objectives: The study’s primary objective was to find out the effectiveness of multiple therapeutic interventions consisting of ultrasound therapy and plyometric training on lateral ankle sprain subjects.Subjects and Methods: A Pre-test and post-test simple experimental study design was used. A criteria –based convenient sampling was used to recruit patients (N=15) diagnosed with lateral ankle sprain. A single group was exposed to ultrasound therapy and plyometric training for the period of 8 weeks. The effectiveness of treatment was measured through Foot And Ankle Disability Index Scale and Sports Module and Goniometer. The paired ‘t’ test was employed to study treatment effectiveness. A p- value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Result: The group which was exposed to the treatment of ultrasound therapy and plyometric training showed a better reduction of pain (Pre and post –test mean difference 41.7 and 85.0) in the Foot and Ankle disability index scale and sports module and improvement of functional ability (Pre and post –test mean difference of Dorsiflexion 19.67 and 30.37, Plantar flexion 5.33 and 12.67, Inversion 9.33 and 15.67, Eversion4.33 and 7.33) in the Goniometer. So the ultrasound therapy and plyometric training at 0.05 levels of significance.Conclusion: There is a significant reduction in pain and improvement in functional ability following the application of 8 weeks of ultrasound therapy and plyometric training in lateral ankle sprain subjects.Clinical implication: Ultrasound therapy and plyometric training are produce a significant effect to manage lateral ankle sprain subjects.
