Plantar massage or ankle mobilization do not alter gait biomechanics in those with chronic ankle instability: a randomized controlled trial
The findings suggest that two-week joint mobilization and plantar massage interventions do not significantly alter gait biomechanics in individuals with CAI. These results support the need for gait-specific interventions to modify biomechanics in this population.
