Immediate Effect of Ankle Mobilization on Active Range of Motion & Gait in

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the effect of ankle joint mobilization on active range of motion and gait in subacute first-time stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of ankle joint mobilization on active range of motion in the ankle and gait qualities? - What is the effect of ankle joint mobilization on self-perceived gait ability? Participants will receive physical therapy interventions of: - Grade III ankle joint mobilization - stretching of ankle plantarflexor muscles - ankle muscle activation training - assisted gait as part of assessment Study design is to measure conditions before and after the intervention to determine effect(s) of one treatment dose, completed within one session of 90 minutes.

Clinical Trial Description

Initial passive and active ankle range of motion measured by goniometer. Initial gait quality will be measured by walking with splinting for frontal plane ankle stability if indicated, assistive device for body weight support if needed, and manual assistance from an experienced physical therapist, on a Zeno Walkway pressure-sensitive mat for five complete stride cycles, taking 3 to 5 minutes. Data collected from the mat will be electronically captured using ProtoKinetics software. Participant initial self-rated perception of ability to walk will be marked on a 0-10 scale, on paper. Treatment intervention follows. With participant lying on the back, paretic ankle moderate-force grade III anterior to posterior-directed manual joint mobilizations will be performed by therapist; three sets of fifteen oscillations. Ankle plantarflexor muscles will be stretched for 75 seconds in supported standing. Ankle dorsiflexion muscle activation training will be performed for three minutes while in a seated position. Post-intervention measurements will proceed in the same sequence as initial measurements listed above: Ankle passive and active range of motion and walking ability will be reassessed, and self-perceived ability to walk will be rated again. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
