A randomised, double blind, repeated measures study was conducted to investigate the initial effects of an accessory mobilisation technique applied to the ankle joint in 13 patients with a unilateral sub-acute ankle supination injury. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, pressure pain threshold, visual analogue scale rating of pain during functional activity and ankle functional scores were assessed before and after application of treatment, manual contact control and no contact control conditions. There were significant improvements in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (p = 0.000) and pressure pain threshold (p = 0.000) during the treatment condition. However no significant effects were observed for the other measures. These findings demonstrate that mobilisation of the ankle joint can produce an initial hypoalgesic effect and an improvement in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion.
一项随机、双盲、重复测量研究旨在调查对13名单侧亚急性踝关节旋后损伤患者应用关节附属运动技术的初始效果。在治疗、手法接触对照和非接触对照条件应用前后,评估踝关节背屈活动范围、压力痛阈、功能活动时疼痛的视觉模拟评分以及踝关节功能评分。治疗期间,踝关节背屈活动范围(p = 0.000)和压力痛阈(p = 0.000)有显著改善。然而,其他测量未观察到显著效果。这些结果表明,踝关节松动可产生初始的痛觉减退效应,并改善踝关节背屈活动范围。
