Immediate effects of anterior to posterior talocrural joint mobilizations following acute lateral ankle sprain
J Man Manip Ther. 2011 May;19(2):76-83. doi: 10.1179/2042618610Y.000000000517 patients were randomized to investigate the effects of a single bout of anterior to posterior (AP) talocrural joint mobilization for acute lateral ankle sprains. Patients received either a single 30-second bout of grade III AP talocrural joint mobilization or no intervention and were assessed after the first 24 hours. A single bout of AP talocrural joint mobilizations was revealed to have no immediate effect on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), posterior talar translation, or self-reported function; however, an immediate effect on pain perception was observed.
