Sponsor's own description

Adequate ankle motion for normal gait ranges from 10° to 15° of dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF-PROM) to allow the tibia to move over the talus. However, limited ankle mobility is a common impairment in patients with stroke whose DF-PROM has been shown to be approximately half of that in healthy subjects. As a result, these patients have impaired dynamic balance in standing or gait. Mulligan first proposed mobilization with movement (MWM) as a joint mobilization technique. Talocrural MWM to facilitate DF-ROM is performed by applying a posteroanterior tibia glide over a fixed talus while the patient actively moves into a dorsiflexed position while standing. Talocrural MWM has been applied to chronic ankle instability and has been proven effective in improving DF-PROM and standing balance. Subtalar MWM to facilitate DF-ROM is performed by bringing foot to dorsiflexion-abduction-eversion by flexing patient' knee. The effects of subtalar MWM have not been investigated in patients with stroke. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of subtalar MWM on muscle strength, balance, functional performance, and gait parameters in patients with chronic stroke.
