| Conditions: |
|
Ankle Sprain |
| Purpose: |
|
The goal is to determine if standard therapy including joint mobilizations of the ankle
performed 3 times per week for 2 weeks will increase self-reported function and decrease
pain in patients with mild lateral ankle sprains.
|
| Study summary: |
|
The purpose of this protocol is to assess the effects of grade IV anterior to posterior
joint mobilization on self-reported function, dorsiflexion range of motion and talar glide
on subjects suffering from lateral ankle sprain in the past 2-10 days and exhibit 5 degree
dorsiflexion deficit in range of motion or a restriction in posterior glide of the talus. |
| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Incomplete tear of lateral ligaments with mild laxity as measured by anterior drawer
test and talar tilt
- Slight reduction in function
- Anterolateral ankle tenderness
- Dorsiflexion ROM asymmetry greater than 5° compared to uninvolved limb
- Posterior talar glide restriction greater than 5° compared to uninvolved limb; or
- Posterior talar glide less than 19°, which is one standard deviation (7°) from our
previously established normative values (26°)9, 10
- Suffered from grade 1 or 2 lateral ankle sprain within the last 48hr - 8 days
Exclusion Criteria:
- A history of ankle surgery that involves intra-articular fixation,
- Syndesmotic ankle sprain (to be ruled out based on clinical examination),
- History or signs of reflex sympathetic dystrophy,
- Have received manual therapy for the ankle sprain prior to enrollment
- Grade III ankle sprain. |
