Effects of Mobilization Versus Manipulation on Function in Participants Reporting CAI

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ankle Sprains

In brief

The investigator's purpose is to compare the effects of talocrural joint mobilization with movement versus thrust mobilization 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 (i.e., 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 (i.e., sprains, fractures) resulting in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity
