Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Individuals who have dorsiflexion values in a closed kinetic chain below 40 degress in the Lunge Test.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: presenting musculoskeletal injury in the lower limb; rheumatic diseases; cardiovascular diseases; or any other alteration that may harm volunteers health or that compromises the performance of the tests.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increased range of motion of ankle dorsiflexion in a closed kinetic chain, performed by the Lunge Test. An increase of at least 5 degrees will be considered and will be evaluated in three moments, being pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment and, after 3 days of treatment. The Articular Mobilization - Mulligan Concept + Articular Mobilization - Maitland Method group is expected to have a higher increase, as it is associated with the combination of the two mobilization techniques. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in carrying out the Star Excursion Balance Test on the force platform. An improvement of at least 10% in the distance will be considered when compared between each measure and will be evaluated in three moments, being pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment and, after 3 days of treatment. It is believed that the Articular Mobilization - Mulligan Concept + Articular Mobilization - Maitland Method group presents a superior improvement for presenting a sum of results of the two techniques.;Difference in the performance of the Triple Hop Test, performed in 3 consecutive maximum jumps. An improvement of at least 10% in the distance will be considered when compared between each measure. It is believed that the Articular Mobilization - Mulligan Concept + Articular Mobilization - Maitland Method group presents a superior improvement for presenting a sum of results of the two techniques.;Increased range of motion of dorsiflexion in open kinetic chain performed by goniometry. An increase of at least 5 degrees will be considered and will be evaluated in three moments, being pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment and, after 3 days of treatment. It is believed that the Articular Mobilization - Mulligan Concept + Articular Mobilization - Maitland Method group presents a superior improvement for presenting a sum of results of the two techniques.;Patient satisfaction with the treatment that will be evaluated by the Medrisk satisfaction questionnaire after 3 days of treatment. It is believed that the Articular Mobilization - Mulligan Concept + Articular Mobilization - Maitland Method group presents a superior improvement for presenting a sum of results of the two techniques. | — |
