Summary

Decreased ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) has been identified among the factors that increase the risk of lateral ankle sprain (LAS) in basketball players. Restoring the DFROM is important in restoring reduced functional abilities and reducing the risk of re-injury. There is evidence that talocrural joint mobilization improves DFROM, but studies investigating the effectiveness of different mobilization techniques are needed. Our study aims to investigate the effects of single-session Mulligan and Maitland talocrural joint mobilization methods on dorsiflexion joint range of motion, jumping performance, and kinesiophobia in elite basketball players.
