Comparison of Passive and Active Joint Mobilization for Chronic Ankle Instability

Comparison of Passive and Active Joint Mobilization for Chronic Ankle Instability: a Randomized Controlled Trial

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• First ankle sprain one year before clinical trial
• A score of less than 24 on the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT)
• No ankle sprains occurred within 4 weeks of starting the test
• Two or more more ankle sprains in the past month

Exclusion Criteria:

• If you have a history of lower extremity surgery
• In case of receiving treatment for the affected ankle within 1 month
