Effect of Mobilization in Conjunction With Exercise in Participants With a History of Chronic Ankle Instability
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Ankle Sprains
In brief
Our purpose is to examine the combined effects of thrust mobilization of the ankle joints in conjunction with a six-week rehabilitation program on functional performance in subjects reporting chronic ankle instability (CAI).

You may qualify if…
- 18-35 years of age
- A history of at least 1 significant ankle sprain (The initial sprain must have occurred at least 12 months prior to study enrollment, associated with inflammatory symptoms (pain, swelling, etc), created at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity)
- The most recent injury must have occurred more than 3 months prior to study enrollment.
- A history of the previously injured ankle joint "giving way" and/or recurrent sprain and/or "feelings of instability."
- Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) < 24
- Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)42: ADL scale < 90%, Sport scale < 80%
You may not qualify if…
- A history of previous surgeries to the musculoskeletal structures (ie, bones, joint structures, nerves) in either limb of the lower extremity.
- A history of a fracture in either limb of the lower extremity requiring realignment
- Acute injury to musculoskeletal structures of other joints of the lower extremity in the previous 3 months, which impacted joint integrity and function (ie, sprains, fractures) resulting in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity
