ABSTRACT

In a study by American scientists, it was noted that most of the injuries of ballet dancers occur on the lower limbs, as they are subjectedto increased loads. Ankle joints injury with ligament injuries is the most frequent and complication-prone type of injury. Insufficientattention is paid to the accidents prevention and replenishment of the sensorimotor deficit in the process of recovering from thisinjury. According to a focused literature review by Mackenzie M.H. et al. on the epidemiology of acute sprain of the ankle ligaments,chronic instability of the ankle joint develops in 40% of patients who have experienced such an injury for the first time, characterizedby repeated sprains and sensations of instability of the ankle joint.Aim. To analyze the process of rehabilitation of ballet dancers with the ankle joint injury, identify the shortcomings of rehabilitationprograms, to study the effect of proprioceptive training programs in reducing the incidence of repetitive ankle sprains in athletes andballet dancers with a history of ankle injuries.Conclusion. Suspension systems exercises can provide training not only for individual muscle groups, but also for proprioceptive sensitivitytraining, correction of postural disorders due to trauma, and most importantly, sensorimotor training under controlled conditions,which reduces the risk of possible re-traumatization.
