Summary

Dynamic knee valgus is an inadequate biomechanical movement of multifactorial cause that may expose the individual to various injuries. The range of motion of ankle dorsiflexion is one of the possible influencing factors. This study intends to compare the immediate effect of two techniques on ankle mobility and dynamic knee valgus.

Conditions

  • Ankle Joint Contracture
  • Knee Injuries and Disorders

Interventions

OTHER

Mobilization with movement

Participants Mobilization Group with Movement are positioned knee facing the physiotherapist, are not elastic passages above the participant's malleolus and are from the physiotherapist's pelvis. The therapist applies a posterolateral slip sustained to a tibia through the belt, leaning backward, while the talus and forefoot are secured with the space between the thumb and the second finger of the hand of both hands. The participant will be instructed to perform a slow dorsiflexion movement for their maximum amplitude.

OTHER

Self mobilization with movement

In the Auto Mobilization with Movement group, participants will self-mobilize the ankle on top of a box (15 centimeters with a 10 ° incline), a non-elastic band will pass below the malleoli and the back of the band will be placed in the middle of the other Lower limb, thus mobilizing the talus in the posteroinferior direction, the participant should maintain the force in that direction while making the dorsiflexion movement in closed kinetic chain until returning to the initial position again. Using the same group protocol as the therapist will help.
