What are the most effective strength training exercises after a deltoid ankle sprain?

Physical therapy: You should see your primary care doctor and get a referral to a hands on physical therapist. They can show you great exercises and coach you to make sure that you are doing them properly.

Balance board!!: After recovery from an ankle sprain, whether deltoid or lateral ligaments, the most effective exercise I have found for my patients is the use of a balance board. They are cheap and effective in improving strength of the muscles/tendons around the ankle and improving proprioception. Always consult your physical therapist and foot/ankle specialist before new activities/exercises. Good luck!
