Ankle injuries are one of the most common injuries in general in all of sports. Although, the ankle injury is highly represented in all sports, they most often occur in basketball. 85% of these injuries are ankle sprains, and of all of these sprains, 85% are inversion sprains of the lateral ligaments of the ankle. Very important aspect of prevention of these sprains is proprioception. Proprioception represents conscious and subconcious sense of the position and movement in the joint. To control the balance, the central nervous system (CNS) integrates visual, vestibular and proprioceptivo information to give motor response that coordinates muscle patterns. Basketball is played between two teams drawn up of five players on the basketball court. The goal of each team is to score by throwing the ball through the opponent's basket while preventing the opponent to do the same. Due to specifics of basketball game, ankle sprain occurs quite often and because of that it is very important to work on proprioception with basketball players. When ankle sprain already occurred, there is need for physical therapy intervention. The physical therapy intervention of ankle sprain begins with physiotherapy assesment to SOAP model and special tests for ankle joint. The therapy is based on the RICE method in the acute phase, and at a more advanced stage of rehabilitation proprioception excersises are very important. Of the physical procedures the most used are TENS, ultrasound therapy, laser therapy, massage and mobilization of the ankle joint.
