Interventions

  • Talocrural Joint Manipulation — OTHER
    This technique, aiming to increase ankle dorsiflexion and mechanoreceptor activation, is based on the application of high velocity low amplitude traction to the joint.
  • Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation — OTHER
    This intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation.

Study Details

The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation on the static balance of patients with stroke. The secondary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation on the dorsiflexion range of motion of patients with stroke.

Arms

  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation Group
    Each group will receive both placebo and real talocrural joint manipulations in a randomized cross-over design. There will be a minimum interval of 48 hours between the interventions. Data obtained after the real manipulation will be recorded as the placebo comparator group data.
  • Active Comparator: Talocrural Joint Manipulation Group
    Each group will receive both placebo and real talocrural joint manipulations in a randomized cross-over design. There will be a minimum interval of 48 hours between the interventions. Data obtained after the real manipulation will be recorded as the active comparison group data.

Primary Outcome Measure

Overall Stability Index Measurement [ Time Frame: Change from baseline overall stability immediately after intervention ]
