Overview
Brief Summary
Currently, it is difficult to find studies in the literature comparing proprioception exercises with the effect of manual therapy on improving balance, and in the long run it may translate into improved activity, functionality and injury prevention in athletes, when planning training or therapy, e.g. in patients after ankle sprains.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Y balance test
Time Frame: The test will be administered twice during a single training session. Baseline (0 minutes before the intervention) and immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes after completion of the training session). Each test will be repeated three times.
Consists of the volunteer standing on one leg while simultaneously stretching the other lower limb in 3 different directions. These are: anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral.
1. Balance
Time Frame: The test will be administered twice during a single training session. Baseline (0 minutes before the intervention) and immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes after completion of the training session). Each test will be repeated three times.
K-FORCE plates assess balance characteristics during testing.
Secondary Outcomes
- Assessment of proprioception.(The test will be administered twice during a single training session. Baseline (0 minutes before the intervention) and immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes after completion of the training session). Each test will be repeated three times.)
- Muscle strength assessment(The test will be administered twice during a single training session. Baseline (0 minutes before the intervention) and immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes after completion of the training session). Each test will be repeated three times.)
