N2  - Background: Commonly, cryotherapy was recommended in physical therapy management of sprain. But, its usage still in need for a clear impact on the postural balance.Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of contrast water immersion therapy on ankle pain, range of motion (ROM), and posture stability in patients with a lateral ankle sprain Subjects: Thirty patients, had grade I and II lateral ligament ankle sprain their age ranged from 18 to 35 years. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Interventions. Group (A) received a selected physical therapy program for Ankle sprain patients. Group (B) Received contrast water immersion for 16 min in addition to the same selected physical therapy program for 4 weeks. Randomized allocation for examining participants was used. Static balance using Biodex Balance System, ROM by Universal Goniometer, and pain by VAS were examined and measured before and after treatment. Results: analysis of data using ANOVA test, show that there was a better significant improvement in all measures of study group in comparison with the control one, post-treatment.Conclusion: The authors can conclude that contrast water immersion for sixteen minutes in patients with lateral ankle sprain had a significant effect on pain, ROM, static, and dynamic balance
