Joint mobilization improves spatiotemporal postural control and range of motion in those with chronic ankle instability

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

20 patients with chronic ankle instability were randomized to the order in which the received sessions of either joint mobilization treatment, which included Maitland grade III oscillations, or no intervention. The sessions were separated by an average of 6 days. Patients were assessed for outcome following sessions, and included range of motion in ankle dorsiflexion, the Star Excursion Balance Test, and mean and standard deviation of anteroposterior and mediolateral time-to-boundary (TTB) minima during single-leg stance. Results demonstrated a significant benefit of joint mobilization on range of ankle dorsiflexion and anteroposterior TTB with eyes open, but not eyes closed. No significant differences between mobilization and no treatment were observed in SEBT results or mediolateral TTB with eyes open or eyes closed.
