Summary
The effects of aging on the ankle joint will contribute negatively to balance in the elderly. Manual therapy is a technique that is usually used to treat ankle arthrokinematics, although there is little literature on this population. This study seeks to investigate the effects that a mobilization on the ankle will produce in order to improve its joint range and if the balance of the older adult improves after the intervention.
