[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gastrocnemius stretching combined with talocrural joint mobilization on weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion. [Subjects] Eleven male subjects with bilateral limited ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion with knee extended participated in this study. [Methods] All subjects received talocrural joint mobilization while performing gastrocnemius stretching. Ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion was measured using an inclinometer under weight-bearing conditions before and immediately after intervention. A paired t-test was used to analyze the difference between weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion pre- and post-intervention. [Results] A significant increase in weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion was found post-intervention compared with pre-intervention. [Conclusion] These findings demonstrate that gastrocnemius stretching combined with joint mobilization is effective for increasing weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion.
[目的] 本研究旨在探讨腓肠肌拉伸联合距小腿关节松动术对负重位踝关节背屈被动活动度的影响。[对象] 11名双侧膝关节伸展时踝关节背屈被动活动度受限的男性受试者参与了本研究。[方法] 所有受试者在进行腓肠肌拉伸时接受距小腿关节松动术。在干预前和干预后即刻,使用倾角仪在负重条件下测量踝关节背屈被动活动度。采用配对t检验分析干预前后负重位踝关节背屈被动活动度的差异。[结果] 与干预前相比,干预后负重位踝关节背屈被动活动度显著增加。[结论] 这些结果表明,腓肠肌拉伸联合关节松动术对增加负重位踝关节背屈被动活动度有效。
