!Painful joints
!Muscle guarding
! Effects:
!Mechanical:
!Plastic deformation of inert and contractile tissue
!Remodeling of adhesions
!Pain Inhibition:
!Gate controlled theory
!Mechanoreceptors

! Stabilization
o Grasping the tibia
! Action Hand:
o Therapist grasp the head of the fibula
with thumb and index finger

! Mobilization:
o Therapist applies a posterior glide
Weigh-bearing Mobilization
! Patient Position:
o Standing
! Stabilization
o Web space of one hand stabilizes the talus and
forefoot
o Other hand guides lower extremity
! Action Hand:
o The belt is placed around distal tibia and fibula
o Towel or foam needed for Achilles tendon protection
! Mobilization:
o Therapist applies an anterior glide through belt while
Collins et al
Man Ther, 2004
! Patient Position:
o Supine with knee extended
! Action Hand:
o Grasp talus
! Mobilization:
o Therapist applies a long axis
! Synovial joint
! Calcaneus (posterior, middle, anterior facets) articulates
with talus
! One degree of freedom (inversion and eversion) some
dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
! The joint is strengthened primarily by deltoid (medial),
and calcaneal fibular ligament (lateral),and secondary by
the medial, posterior and lateral talocalcaneal ligaments
! Calcaneus inverts, everts and internally and externally
rotates
! Dorsiflexion: The calcaneus everts, externally rotates
and dorsiflexes

extremity
! Stabilization:
o Grasp tib/fib and talus
! Action Hand:
o Grasp the calcaneus with the thenar
eminence
! Mobilization:
o Therapist applies a lateral mobilization
force through the therapist's arm and
thenar eminence to the medial calcaneus
Ovidio Olivencia, PT, DPT
Nova Southeastern University
! Patient Position:
oProne with pillow between therapist
and leg
! Stabilization:
oGrasp talus from dorsal side
! Action Hand:
oGrasp the calcaneus between your
thumb and index finger with knee
flexed
! Mobilization:
oPush straight up towards ceiling

! Synovial joint
! Body of cuboid articulates with:
! Calcaneuous
! 4th and 5th metatarsals
! Navicular
! Lateral cuneiform
! Stability provided by dorsal and plantar:
cuboideonavicular, calcaneocuboid,
cubodeiometatarsal ligaments, and long plantar
ligament
! Movement of CC joint is medial and lateral rotation
(pronation and supination) in an anterior/posterior
axis.

! Patient Position:
o Prone with knee in 70 deg. of flexion and 0 deg. of
dorsiflexion
! Stabilization:
o Interlocking fingers over the dorsum of foot
! Action Hand:
o Thumbs positioned on the plantar/medial aspect of
cuboid
! Mobilization:
o With the patients leg relaxed, extend the knee while
plantar flexing ankle with slight inversion of the
subtalar joint while delivering an P/A mobilization
! 6.7% of plantar flexion and inversion injury
