Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan's mobilization with movement technique on balance, muscle strength and flexibility in healthy ankles . Patients will randomly be divided into 4 groups: Kinesio taping (KT) group, sham Kinesio taping (SKT) group, Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) group and sham mobilization with movement (SMWM) group . Kinesiotape will be applied both ankles as "Correction technique" in KT group, 'Posterolateral glide mobilization with movement' will be applied 10 times to both ankles in MWM group. The evaluations will be repeated after waiting 45 minutes to reveal the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan mobilization with movement.
