Abstract:
Lateral Ankle Sprains (LAS) are among the 3 most common musculoskeletal conditions sustained by Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members. Despite receiving comprehensive rehabilitation programs, military members with LAS have reported persistent symptoms, impairments and recurrences which impact their physical readiness, and consequently, the operational readiness of the military. These findings suggest that the use of comprehensive rehabilitation programs alone for treating LAS may not effectively address some of the impairments crucial for asymptomatic ankle function. Ankle dorsiflexion hypomobility is a common impairment in soldiers following LAS, which may cause functional difficulties and increase recurrence risk. Ankle mobilizations are commonly applied to restore dorsiflexion following LAS, but research into their clinical effectiveness is limited. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of conducting a randomized trial to determine the effectiveness of ankle mobilizations to improve dorsiflexion in C.
