Summary

This study tests whether a hands-on technique called posterior talar glide mobilization can immediately improve ankle flexibility and walking speed. Sixty healthy adults aged 18-45 will receive either the real mobilization or a sham version. Researchers will measure ankle range of motion and walking speed right after treatment.
