Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the effect of ankle joint mobilization on active range of motion and gait in subacute first-time stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the effect of ankle joint mobilization on active range of motion in the ankle and gait qualities?
* What is the effect of ankle joint mobilization on self-perceived gait ability?

Participants will receive physical therapy interventions of:

* Grade III ankle joint mobilization
* stretching of ankle plantarflexor muscles
* ankle muscle activation training
* assisted gait as part of assessment

Study design is to measure conditions before and after the intervention to determine effect(s) of one treatment dose, completed within one session of 90 minutes.
