Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Athlete's soccer with acute ankle sprains, male and female, aged between 16 and 45 years and underwent a medical evaluation prior.
Exclusion criteria: Sprains associated with lower limb bone fracture

Age minimum: 16Y
Age maximum: 45Y
Gender: -
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Individuals with ankle sprain
C26.558.100
Intervention(s)
Intervention group: will be 25 athletes with ankle sprains. These will receive the normal treatment for ankle sprains based on electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy, an associated motor imagery training. For that will be used a computer program that projects images of the ankle and the individual must determine whether the image is a right or left ankle. The treatment will be performed daily, five days a week until discharge clinic.
Control Group: will be 25 athletes with ankle sprains and only carry the standard treatment recommended for ankle sprain, similar to the intervention group without motor imagery.
Primary Outcome(s)
The outcome of the study will be analyzed according to variables collected at the beginning and end of treatment for ankle sprains, which are:
Ankle girth: The perimeter will be made with the aid of a tape measure placed around the ankle in the form of "8" through the following points: tuberosity of the navicular bone, the base of 5th metatarsal, the medial malleolus, the lateral malleolus the tendon of the tibialis before. The participant is supine with the ankle in neutral position.
Questionnaire Cumberland Ankle Instability: will be used for the evaluation of functional instability presented by the participants.
Star Excursion Balance Test: test that assesses dynamic balance.
Range of motion of the ankle: The measurement of ROM of the ankle will be in a position to deposit the load and is therefore closer to a functional condition.
Total duration of treatment.
Relapse number of sprain after treatment.
