Brief Summary

Restrictions on ankle dorsiflexion are common in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI). In fact, this is one factor that can contribute to the recurrence of such injuries. Passive mobilization techniques to improve ankle dorsiflexion are commonly used in physiotherapy treatments. However, no studies have compared manipulative techniques of mobilization techniques in subjects with chronic ankle instability. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two mobilization techniques on ankle dorsiflexion in patients with chronic ankle instability.

Conditions

Chronic Instability of Joint

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Pre-intervention ankle dorsiflexion

  Ankle dorsiflexion is measured by the weight-bearing lunge method

  pre-intervention

• Inmediately post-intervention ankle dorsiflexion

  Ankle dorsiflexion is measured by the weight-bearing lunge method

  inmediately post-intervention

• ten minutes post-intervention ankle dorsiflexion

  Ankle dorsiflexion is measured by the weight-bearing lunge method

  ten minutes post-intervention

• 24 hr post-intervention ankle dorsiflexion

  Ankle dorsiflexion is measured by the weight-bearing lunge method

  24 hr post-intervention

• 48 hr post-intervention ankle dorsiflexion

  Ankle dorsiflexion is measured by the weight-bearing lunge method

  48 hr post-intervention
