Summary

The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation on the static balance of patients with stroke. The secondary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation on the dorsiflexion range of motion of patients with stroke.

Detailed description

The study, utilizing a randomized crossover design, is planned to be conducted on a minimum of 26 patients with stroke who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients included in the study will be randomly assigned to receive both placebo talocrural joint manipulation and talocrural joint manipulation treatments.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
