Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The effects of aging on the ankle joint will contribute negatively to balance in the elderly. Manual therapy is a technique that is usually used to treat ankle arthrokinematics, although there is little literature on this population. This study seeks to investigate the effects that a mobilization on the ankle will produce in order to improve its joint range and if the balance of the older adult improves after the intervention.
