Purpose of the study- To find out the effect of cold water immersion on ankle joint position sense in healthy individuals. Method- An experimental study was conducted on 78 individuals between 18-30 years of age for testing of Joint Position Sense after 15 minutes immersion in cold water of (15±1°C). Ankle JPS was measured using Range of motion by goniometer. Result- In this study the result analysis was taken into 2 stages which is Before and After cold water immersion. All the result based on the performance of the volunteers regarding the effect of the cold water immersion which divided into 2 groups by gathering the data collection of active plantar flexion and dorsi flexion for JPS. The result has been analyzed by using the paired T-Test it was found that cold water immersion has significant effect on ankle joint position sense (P<0.0001). Conclusion- These findings suggest that a 15-minute cryotherapy (15±1°C) is deleterious to JPS.
