Objective: This study aims to summarize secondary data related to sprain ankle. Methods: The research method used is a literature study using secondary data in the form of journals related to the sprained ankle topic obtained through Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed. Results: Several studies have shown that someone with ankle sprains can be given physiotherapy according to their condition. Novelty: The study emphasizes the role of exercise therapy in improving muscle weakness and ligament laxity caused by damage to the lateral ligament complex in ankle sprains, highlighting its importance in the rehabilitation process.
