Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation Group
In this group, patients will receive placebo talocrural joint manipulation. The application will be similar to that in the experimental group, however, hands will be positioned to avoid creating traction or manipulation force, and this position will be maintained for 20 seconds.
Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation
This intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation.
Talocrural Joint Manipulation Group
In this group, talocrural joint manipulation will be applied. After positioning the patient, high velocity low amplitude traction will be applied.
Talocrural Joint Manipulation
This technique, aiming to increase ankle dorsiflexion and mechanoreceptor activation, is based on the application of high velocity low amplitude traction to the joint.
