%X Background and Objective: Recurrent ankle sprains usually happen when a person does two or more tasks simultaneously. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of dual-task training (DTT) on dynamic postural control (DPC) in individuals with functional ankle instability (FAI). Method: This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted in Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2015. Thirty-two individuals with FAI were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into two groups of Biodex balance training and DTT. Each group received its intervention for 4 weeks, three days a week, for 30 minutes per day. Overall stability index, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral indices were measured by Biodex balance system in single and double-leg stances with open and closed eyes, before and after the intervention. Paired samples and independent t-tests were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that overall stability, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral stability indices improved significantly after performing DTT in all cases (P
