What do the studies say?
” Proprioceptive training programs were effective in reducing the incidence rates of ankle sprains in the athletic population, including those with and those without a history of ankle sprains.” 3726 participants in the review would suggest a high likelihood of proprioceptive training to be beneficial for any athlete in any sport looking to decrease or prevent ankle sprains. For many years, ankle sprains are plagued Omaha’s athletes, and bracing and taping have been helpful. But the proprioceptive component of being in the right place at the right time to put down power will also help to prevent recurrent or initial ankle sprains. Not only that, it will improve performance traction, and power production on the field
What does that mean?
Proprioception is the body’s ability to communicate with its brain and cerebellum with its feet ankles and body positions in space. Using the term balance is not quite exactly the same. Balance is a component of proprioception but for athletic ability and coordination combined with balance and positional awareness. That is the true definition functionally a proprioception. An athlete with high degrees of proprioception is able to put down power quicker, jump higher, and be in a better position to create space and power when needed. It also allows them better balance and stability to be in the game and not out of the game.
What can CORE do to help me?
Core physical therapy and sports performance in Omaha Nebraska was founded in 2015, to treat and prevent injuries of athletic populations and Omaha. We work well on one with our patients, every visit, our design programs are specific to the individual in the sport and position played. Prevention and strengthening of proprioception for all athletes and all levels is with vital component to injury prevention and performance. We specialize in this type of strengthening coordination and balance building in all planes of motion for all sports and all athlete types. It could be beneficial in his part of every rehabilitation process here at core physical therapy and sports performance depending on situation. We are uniquely trained in this type of rehab.
Why doesn’t every clinic do this training?
Most change clinics and small clinics don’t have the area, expertise, and training to do this type of procedure and rehabilitation. It takes special training, special equipment, and a very acute eye of progression an extra exercise coordination. 101 training and one and one supervision and instruction or vital to this component and that makes it quite unique in this area of development. In short, this type of training is difficult mentally and physically coordinated busy clinics, and it’s a lot of work. Busy clinicians sometimes forget that the most vital component to rehab could be in most likely is at the end stages proprioceptive building.

Abstract
Reference: Schiftan GS, Ross LA, Hahne AJ. The effectiveness of proprioceptive training in preventing ankle sprains in sporting populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Sci Med Sport. 2015;18(3):238-244.
Clinical question: Does the use of proprioceptive training as a sole intervention decrease the incidence of initial or recurrent ankle sprains in the athletic population?
Data sources: The authors completed a comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) from inception to October 2013. The reference lists of all identified articles were manually screened to obtain additional studies. The following key words were used. Phase 1 population terms were sport*, athlet*, and a combination of the two. Phase 2 intervention terms were propriocept*, balance, neuromusc* adj5 train*, and combinations thereof. Phase 3 condition terms were ankle adj5 sprain*, sprain* adj5 ankle, and combinations thereof.
Study selection: Studies were included according to the following criteria: (1) the design was a moderate- to high-level randomized controlled trial (>4/10 on the PEDro scale), (2) the participants were physically active (regardless of previous ankle injury), (3) the intervention group received proprioceptive training only, compared with a control group that received no proprioceptive training, and (4) the rate of ankle sprains was reported as a main outcome. Search results were limited to the English language. No restrictions were placed on publication dates.
Data extraction: Two authors independently reviewed the studies for eligibility. The quality of the pertinent articles was assessed using the PEDro scale, and data were extracted to calculate the relative risk. Data extracted were number of participants, intervention, frequency, duration, follow-up period, and injury rate.
Main results: Of the initial 345 studies screened, 7 were included in this review for a total of 3726 participants. Three analyses were conducted for proprioceptive training used (1) to prevent ankle sprains regardless of history (n = 3654), (2) to prevent recurrent ankle sprains (n = 1542), or (3) as the primary preventive measure for those without a history of ankle sprain (n = 946). Regardless of a history of ankle sprain, participants had a reduction in ankle-sprain rates (relative risk [RR] = 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.55, 0.77; numbers needed to treat [NNT] = 17, 95% CI = 11, 33). For individuals with a history of ankle sprains, proprioceptive training demonstrated a reduction in repeat ankle sprains (RR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.51, 0.81; NNT = 13, 95% CI = 7, 100). Proprioceptive training as a primary preventive measure demonstrated significant results (RR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.34, 0.97; NNT = 33, 95% CI = 16, 1000).
Conclusions: Proprioceptive training programs were effective in reducing the incidence rates of ankle sprains in the athletic population, including those with and those without a history of ankle sprains.
