Immediate Effects of Ankle MWM and Taping on Gait and Balance in Stroke Patients
Immediate Effects of Ankle Mobilization With Movement and Mulligan Talocrural Taping on Gait and Balance in Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Nov 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Disorders caused by stroke may lead to significant limitations, especially in ankle range of motion, and may cause impairments in walking and balance functions. This limitation in ankle range of motion leads to difficulties in weight transfer, stability, and balance. As a result, there is a decrease in walking performance and an increased risk of falls. Various interventions have been used to improve ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, including gastrosoleus muscle stretching, muscle strengthening training, functional electrical stimulation training, proprioceptive control training, taping, manual therapy, different mobilization techniques, and ankle mobilization with motion (MWM).There are limited studies investigating the immediate effects of MWM and taping on gait and balance in stroke patients. This study was planned to investigate the effect of Mulligan's ankle MWM technique and talus stabilization taping on spatiotemporal gait and balance parameters in stroke patients.
