Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of joint mobilization on dynamic postural control in subjects with chronic ankle sprain Design: Randomised placebo-controlled trial with concealed allocation, and patient blinding. Setting and product: Thirty subjects (male and female) aged between 20 to 35 years with chronic ankle sprain will be divided in two groups randomly. Major Inclusion and Exclusion criteria: patients have to experience minimum one time ankle sprain more than six weeks ago, repetitive ankle giving way during past 12 months, no experience of balance exercises, and no neurological and infection problem and ankle fracture. Intervention: The first group will be given an anterior-posterior Talar glide for 6 sessions with 40 glides each day. The control group will be given the imitated placebo mobilization during 6 sessions without applying any manual technique. Outcome measures: Y Balance Test will be used to assess the dynamic postural control of subjects at the beginning and the end of the treatment program.
