Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of anteroposterior talus mobilization on range of motion, pain, and functional capacity in participants with sub-acute and chronic ankle injuries.

Conditions

  • Ankle Sprains
  • Ankle Fractures
  • Ankle Dislocations
  • Ankle Bruises
  • Achilles Tendon Rupture

Interventions

OTHER

joint mobilization

The experimental group received joint mobilization (anteroposterior mobilization of the talus - Maitland grade III). During the mobilization cyclic movements were applied in an anteroposterior direction from the first tissue resistance barrier until the end of the accessory range of motion without any pain or discomfort. This mobilization maneuver was performed in 30-second duration sets with a 30-second interval between each set. The interventions lasted two weeks with three sessions each, completing six sessions.

OTHER

manual contact

The placebo group received only manual contact. This maneuver was performed in 30-second duration sets with a 30-second interval between each set. The interventions lasted two weeks with three sessions each, completing six sessions.
