Ankle joint includes : talocrural joint distraction, Posterior and Anterior glide. Ankle and foot mobilization also includes subtalar joint mobilisation. It includes subtalar joint distraction and the glides includes lateral and medial glide which helps in …

Feb 13, 2019 · Up to 40% of individuals who sprain their ankle develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). One treatment option for this debilitating condition is joint mobilisation.

Objective: In a pragmatic and randomized clinical trial, patients with lateral ankle sprains were assessed, under blinded conditions, for their responsiveness and improvements during Mulligan mobilization-with-movement (MWM) therapy. Methods: Overall, 51 participants with subacute lateral ankle sprains (Grade I–II) were recruited.

The self-ankle MWM with a 10° inclined board group had significantly improved ankle dorsiflexion passive ROM, static balance strength, gait speed, cadence, and affected-side step duration after 4 weeks of interventions.

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are common in sports medicine and can result in a high rate of re‐injury and chronic ankle instability (CAI). Recent evidence supports the use on mobilizations directed at the ankle in patients who have suffered a LAS.

Jun 1, 2020 · Clinicians may consider applying MWM when treating patients with chronic ankle sprains, because it is immediately beneficial for DFROM. Long term effects of mobilisation need to be further investigated using clinically relevant outcomes.

Jul 1, 2006 · This preliminary study demonstrated an initial ameliorative effect of MWM treatment techniques on posterior talar glide and dorsiflexion range of motion in individuals with recurrent lateral ankle sprain.

Sep 4, 2017 · Several studies 11-21 have investigated the effects of manual therapy on ankle sprains using a variety of outcome measures including pain, range of motion (ROM), and function from the acute to chronic stages of recovery, with different results reported.

Weight-bearing MWM appears to be beneficial for improving weight-bearing dorsiflexion immediately after application for chronic recurrent ankle sprains compared to no treatment or sham. Long-term benefits have not been adequately investigated.

Mar 1, 2021 · This study provides preliminary data for the benefits of MWM for acute and sub-acute ankle sprain in terms of pain, ankle mobility, disability and balance.
