Comparison of Passive and Active Joint Mobilization for Chronic Ankle Instability

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Musculoskeletal Manipulations; Ankle Joint; Chronic Instability of Joint
• Interventions: Other: Passive joint mobilization; Other: Active joint mobilization

• Registration Number: NCT04630899
• Lead Sponsor: Sahmyook University

Brief Summary

The features of CAI were confirmed through studies that 64% to 77% had extra-articular conditions mainly related to calf tendon disorder. In addition, joints are laxity, sensory motors are deficient, and the range of dorsi flexion is decreased. this study is to investigate the effects of active joint mobilization(AJM) under weight-bearing conditions to stimulate various proprioceptors for CAI with deficiency in sensorimotor and postural control.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Range of motion	4 weeks	Measured based on the accelerometer sensor built into the mobile phone with a clinometer app. After fixing the mobile phone on the participant's sole, press "0 clear" to calibrate it to the initial value. The physical therapist asks the participant to "flex the foot in the dorsal direction " Measure a total of 2 times and record it as an average value.
Ankle instability	4 weeks	Consists of 9 questions, 3 to 0 points for 5 questions, 4 to 0 points for 2 questions, 5 to 0 points for 1 question, and 2 to 0 points for another question. A total score of 30 points is the highest, 28 points or more are stable ankle joints, and 24 points or less are unstable ankle joints. The higher the score, the closer to normal, and the lower the score, the lower the stability.
