Accumulative Effects of Talus Mobilization

The experimental group received joint mobilization (anteroposterior mobilization of the talus - Maitland grade III). During the mobilization cyclic movements were applied in an anteroposterior direction from the first tissue resistance barrier until the end of the accessory range of motion without any pain or discomfort. This mobilization maneuver was performed in 30-second duration sets with a 30-second interval between each set. The interventions lasted two weeks with three sessions each, completing six sessions.

The placebo group received only manual contact. This maneuver was performed in 30-second duration sets with a 30-second interval between each set. The interventions lasted two weeks with three sessions each, completing six sessions.
