Clinical Trial Summary

Dynamic knee valgus is an inadequate biomechanical movement of multifactorial cause that may expose the individual to various injuries. The range of motion of ankle dorsiflexion is one of the possible influencing factors. This study intends to compare the immediate effect of two techniques on ankle mobility and dynamic knee valgus.


Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to verify the immediate effects of ankle mobilization on dynamic knee valgus and to compare two techniques of ankle mobility. It will include 102 lower limbs that present deficit of ankle dorsiflexion and dynamic knee valgus in the same lower limb.

Participants will be divided into two groups, one for ankle mobilization with movement aided by the therapist and another for self mobilization of the ankle. The two intervention groups will do the same protocol, same number of sets, repetitions and rest time.There will be randomisation allocation of individuals in the groups and because of the nature of the interventions only the evaluator may be blind.

The Kolmogorov - Smirnov test is used to verify the data distribution normality. The characterization of the participants is performed by means of descriptive statistical analysis. Parametric or non-parametric tests will be used according to the data distribution normality for comparison between groups at baseline. The evaluator blinding will be tested using the chi -square test by comparing the randomization code with the evaluator opinion. The difference between the groups and their respective confidence intervals will be calculated by linear mixed models using interaction term of "time versus group." ;
