简要总结
Ankle mobility limitations are common in older adults. A possible treatment to restore joint mobility is manual therapy based on mobilization techniques, in this case, applied on the ankle joint. Previous research had proposed different treatment volumes (one to twelve sessions), but shown a different and non-consistent degree of effectiveness according to such factor. Therefore, this work aims to determine the dose-response relationship of manual therapy (talus mobilizations) on ankle range of motion in the older adult.

主要结局
Treatment dose
时间窗: Change from baseline to end of intervention (2 weeks) and follow-up (10 weeks)
Number of sessions of experimental intervention needed to induce a clinically important gain in ankle mobility after the intervention. A baseline progression over 4.6º in the Lunge test will be considered clinically important (Powden, 2015), so that the number of sessions will be established when this threshold is exceeded (see secondary outcome) .
次要结局
- The Lunge test(Change from baseline, to end of intervention (2 weeks) and follow-up (10 weeks))
