Immediate Effects of Ankle Joint Mobilization on Jump Performance in Healthy University Students

Starting soon · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Lower Extremity Performance, Ankle Dorsiflexion, Healthy Volunteers

In brief

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the immediate effects of ankle joint mobilization on countermovement jump performance and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in healthy university students. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an ankle joint mobilization group or a sham mobilization group. Countermovement jump performance will be assessed using the My Jump Lab mobile application, and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion will be measured using the weight-bearing lunge test with a digital inclinometer before and immediately after the intervention. The findings of this study are expected to improve the understanding of the acute effects of ankle joint mobilization on functional performance and ankle mobility.
