Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is considered as a very frequent pathology because 80% of the patients who suffer ankle sprain develop residual effects related to functional and mechanical instability. According to evidence-based physiotherapy, the application of joint mobilization techniques and proprioceptive training are considered the most appropriate treatment to improve these patients' functional deficits. Additionally, there are several methods to assess the presence of CAI, and the use of self-administered questionnaires is one of the most extended tools because of its easy administration and applicability in clinical practice. Nevertheless, to our knowledge and in the beginning of this study, there were no self-report questionnaires validated in Spanish for this pathology. The objectives of this research were to perform the validation of the Spanish version of the "Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) "and to assess the effectiveness of a proprioceptive training program and joint mobilization in patients with CAI.
