Effect Of Exercise Program Along With Mobilization On Pain , Range Of Motion And Foot Posture Index On Limited Dorsiflexion Post Ankle Sprain

NEED OF STUDY:

The ankle bears more weight per unit area than any other joint in the body. The ankle joint is crucial to the body’s balancing mechanism. The capacity of the bones to hold the central talus bone in place during ankle motion is what determines the stability of the ankle joint. When the foot is flat on the floor, the joint is more stable. Ankle sprains are common injuries that occur among people of all ages and at all activity levels. Numerous ligaments in the ankle help to keep the bones in proper position and stabilize the joint. Joint stability is important for all types of activities, including standing, walking, and running. There has been limited researches about the use of manual therapy methods and their effectiveness in subjects diagnosed with ankle sprain also there is no evidence suggesting that Exercise program with Maitland mobilization can help to improve Range of Motion and Balance in subjects with Sprained Ankle.

Hence, need for my study is to evaluate the combine Effect of Exercise Program along with Mobilization on Pain, Range of Motion and Foot Posture Index on limited Dorsiflexion post  Lateral Ankle Sprain.

Research Question:

Which among Exercise program along with Mobilization or conventional/Control treatment protocol is beneficial on pain, range of motion and foot posture index  on limited Dorsiflexion post  Lateral Ankle sprain?
