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

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	HVLA	High velocity and low amplitude manipulation in traction of subtalar jonit
OTHER	MWM	Mobilization with movement as Mulligan for increase dorsiflexion of the ankle in weight bearing
OTHER	placebo	Manual contact during a period of time similar of teh other interventions
