简要总结
The effects of aging on the ankle joint will contribute negatively to balance in the elderly. Manual therapy is a technique that is usually used to treat ankle arthrokinematics, although there is little literature on this population. This study seeks to investigate the effects that a mobilization on the ankle will produce in order to improve its joint range and if the balance of the older adult improves after the intervention.

The time that the participant can be with monopodal support is measured
Test Up and Go
时间窗: Change from baseline to day 21
It is a test in which the functional mobility of the participant is measured.
