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.

Der Fragilitätsindex ist ein Instrument, das bei der Interpretation signifikanter Ergebnisse hilft und ein Maß für die Stärke eines Ergebnisses liefert. Der Fragilitätsindex gibt die Anzahl der aufeinanderfolgenden Ereignisse an, die zu einem dichotomen Ergebnis hinzugefügt werden müssen, damit das Ergebnis nicht mehr signifikant ist. Eine kleine Zahl steht für ein schwächeres Ergebnis und eine große Zahl für ein stärkeres Ergebnis.
Warum wurde diese Studie jetzt benötigt?
Following a lateral ankle sprain, it has been reported that individuals may experience decreased dorsiflexion ROM and posterior talar glide. While these individuals may benefit from joint mobilization, there has been no previous study evaluating the use of anterior to posterior (AP) talocrural joint mobilizations in patients with acute lateral ankle sprains. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of a single bout of grade III AP talocrural joint mobilization on ankle dorsiflexion ROM, posterior talar translation, and self-reported pain and function in these patients.
Was war die wichtigste Forschungsfrage?
Did a single bout of AP talocrural joint mobilization lead to better ankle dorsiflexion ROM, posterior talar translation, and self-reported pain and function, compared to no intervention, in acute lateral ankle sprains when assessed after the first 24 hours?
Was waren die wichtigsten Ergebnisse?
- In regard to dorsiflexion ROM, there was not a significant group by time interaction (F2,30 = 0.17, P = 0.85, 1-beta = 0.07) or group main effect (F2, 30 = 0.21, P = 0.66, 1-beta = 0.07); however, there was a significant main effect for time (F2,30 = 3.67, P = 0.04, 1-beta = 0.63).
- While there was a significant improvement in dorsiflexion ROM from baseline to 24 hour follow-up (P=0•037), there was no significant difference between the treatment (6.49 (SD 6.43) to 8.82 (SD 7.29)) and control (7.36 (SD 6.38) to 9.94 (SD 4.02)) groups (P > 0.05).
- There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) regarding posterior talar translation measures between the treatment (7.09 (SD 3.54) to 7.06 (SD 2.99)) and control (5.86 (SD 2.81) to 6.95 (SD 3.64)) groups from baseline to the 24 hour follow-up. No significant group by time interaction (F2,30= 0.58, P = 0.57, 1-beta = 0.14), group main effect (F2,30 = 0.45, P = 0.51, 1-beta = 0.10), or time main effect (F2,30 = 0.86, P = 0.43, 1-beta = 0.18) were seen.
- In respect to the FADI-ADL and FADI-sport, there were no significant group by time interactions (F1,15 = 0.43, P = 0.52, 1-beta = 0.09; F1,15 = 0.04, P = 0.84, 1-beta = 0.05, respectively) or group main effects (F1,15 = 1.51, P = 0.24, 1-beta = 0.21; F1,15 = 0.00, P = 0.99, 1-beta = 0.05).
- The treatment group demonstrated a 20% reduction in pain (t8 = -3.74, P = 0.006) at the 24 hour follow-up when compared to the control group (t7 = 0.00, P = 1.0).
Was sollte ich mir besonders merken?
A single bout of AP talocrural joint mobilization for acute ankle sprains displayed no effect in increasing ankle dorsiflexion ROM, decreasing posterior talar glide, or improving self-reported function. However, individuals receiving joint mobilization demonstrated decreased pain compared to those who did not receive the intervention.
Wie wird sich dies auf die Behandlung meiner Patienten auswirken?
This study suggests that joint mobilization provides no apparent benefit in ankle dorsiflexion ROM, posterior talar translation, or self-reported function when treating acute lateral ankle sprains. However, there may be a positive benefit in terms of pain perception immediately following treatment. Future research is required to investigate the long-term effects of multiple applications of joint mobilizations.
