Disorders caused by stroke may lead to significant limitations, especially in ankle range of motion, and may cause impairments in walking and balance functions. This limitation in ankle range of motion leads to difficulties in weight transfer, stability, and balance. As a result, there is a decrease in walking performance and an increased risk of falls. Various interventions have been used to improve ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, including gastrosoleus muscle stretching, muscle strengthening training, functional electrical stimulation training, proprioceptive control training, taping, manual therapy, different mobilization techniques, and ankle mobilization with motion (MWM).There are limited studies investigating the immediate effects of MWM and taping on gait and balance in stroke patients. This study was planned to investigate the effect of Mulligan's ankle MWM technique and talus stabilization taping on spatiotemporal gait and balance parameters in stroke patients.

| Mobilisation with Movement and Taping | Other | For MWM for the talocrural joint, the hemiparetic side of the participant is positioned in a standing position on a stool. A non-elastic belt is passed behind the patient's distal tibia and secured around the therapist's pelvis. The patient is asked to perform active knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion with weight on the hemiparetic side. Meanwhile, the therapist performs forward sliding of the tibia with the help of the belt. For 10 seconds active and painless sliding takes place and then return to the starting position. This application is applied as 10 repetitions, 6 sets, and 1 minute rest between sets. Following the MWM application, Mulligan talus stabilization taping is performed. For this taping, the participants' ankles are placed on a stool at a height of 30 cm and their feet are placed in the dorsiflexion position. The therapist starts taping from the plantar surface of the calcaneus using rigid tape and will wrap and stabilize the talus. |

There are 2 different groups in the study. One of them is the intervention group and the other is the sham group.
|
| Sham | Other | During joint mobilization with movement, the therapist will stabilize the ankle while performing knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion by actively moving the center of mass to the affected side, but the shear force required to slide the tibia forward with the belt will not be given. Placebo taping following the application will be applied in such a way that there is no stabilization effect without tension between the same start and end points. |

As a result of the evaluation, changes in the center of pressure will be recorded. | Pre-intervention/sham and immediately after the intervention/sham |
The timed get up and walk test will be used to measure the dynamic balance of individuals. It includes the measurement of the time it takes for the participant to get up from the chair, walk 3 meters at their own pace, turn around, return to the chair and sit back in the chair. |
