Conditions
Brief summary
This study propose assess the immediate effects of HVLA thrust manipulation of talocrural joint on dorsiflexion ROM, posterior talar glide and dynamic postural balance in individuals who have had a ankle sprain. We also propose studied the relationship between dorsiflexion and posterior talar glide in persons with history of ankle sprain before and after the application of the technique.
Interventions
Intervention: HVLA Thrust Direct manipulation of talus with a drop table: the individual is lying on the table with the lower limb in triple flexion. The calcaneus rests on the drop table, which is armed and, the foot rests on a Dejarnete's wedge, which fixes the foot in the first degrees of plantar flexion. The therapist stands in front of the individual on the side of the dysfunction and makes contact with the inner hand with the pisiform on the neck of the talus, and the external hand reinfor
Intervention: HVLA Thrust Direct manipulation of talus with a drop table: the individual is lying on the table with the lower limb in triple flexion. The calcaneus rests on the drop table, which is armed and, the foot rests on a Dejarnete's wedge, which fixes the foot in the first degrees of plantar flexion. The therapist stands in front of the individual on the side of the dysfunction and makes contact with the inner hand with the pisiform on the neck of the talus, and the external hand reinforces the anterior hand. The forearms should lie in the joint plane of the talocrural joint. The slack is reduced and through an explosive contraction of the pectorals, the manipulation with thrust is carried out, associated with a body-drop. The intervention will be administered by a Physiotherapist with 10 years experience; Number of times: Three (3) consecutive times; Duration between each manipulation: 10 seconds Number of sessions: a single intervention. Duration of intervention: 3 minutes Location: Public Hospital
