Abstract

Introduction: Functional ankle instability (FAI) is a consequence of ankle sprains, which can generate functional deficits. One of the methods used to evaluate these deficits are the functional tests (FT), in addition, one method of preventing ankle sprains are the orthosis, however, both methods are still controversial. Objective: To compare the performance of individuals with and without IFT in functional tests with and without the use of ankle orthosis. Method: Twenty-two volunteers aged 18 to 25 years participated in the study and were divided into a control group and a group with IFT. The subjects performed five functional tests with and without the use of ankle orthosis. Results: No significant difference was found between groups and between conditions. Conclusion: The ankle orthosis had no influence on the performance of individuals with and without FAI in functional tests.
