The effect of immersion cryotherapy on medial-lateral postural sway variability in individuals with a lateral ankle sprain.

Background And Purpose: Postural stability has been shown to be impaired after a lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and after immersion cryotherapy in healthy ankles. This study was performed to determine the effects of cryotherapy on postural stability after LAS.

Method: A single-session, repeated measures design was used.
