Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation	This intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation.
OTHER	Talocrural Joint Manipulation	This technique, aiming to increase ankle dorsiflexion and mechanoreceptor activation, is based on the application of high velocity low amplitude traction to the joint.
