Changes in the Ankle Range of Motion Following Subtalar Joint Manipulation

NCT00981331 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether manipulation of the subtalar joint (one of the two joints of the ankle) has an effect on ankle range of motion in a group of ankles that have sustained a subacute inversion ankle sprain.

The investigators expect subtalar joint manipulation will increase ankle range of motion about the subtalar joint, but not at the talocrural joint (the other joint of the ankle).

Conditions

  • Ankle Inversion Sprain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Subtalar joint manipulation

The intervention is defined as a toggle-recoil, high-velocity, low-amplitude subtalar joint manipulation.

PROCEDURE

Sham subtalar joint manipulation

The sham manipulation is conducted by placing the ankle in a non-manipulative position, and the operator simply engages the toggle board to simulate the audible noise of the toggle board dropping. No force or thrust is applied to the ankle.
