Impact of subtalar joint mobilization on walking ability in patients with intra-articular varus of the hindfoot joint with chronic ankle instability
Subtalar joint mobilization effectively reduces ankle pain and enhances walking ability among patients with CAI by improving ankle stability. The observed improvements in walking ability may stem from mitigating compensatory mechanisms associated with varus of the calcaneus and ankle instability.
