Immediate Effects of Ankle Joint Mobilization on Jump Performance in Healthy University Students
Sponsor: Muş Alparslan University
Summary
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the immediate effects of ankle joint mobilization on countermovement jump performance and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in healthy university students. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an ankle joint mobilization group or a sham mobilization group. Countermovement jump performance will be assessed using the My Jump Lab mobile application, and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion will be measured using the weight-bearing lunge test with a digital inclinometer before and immediately after the intervention. The findings of this study are expected to improve the understanding of the acute effects of ankle joint mobilization on functional performance and ankle mobility.

Interventions
Mobilization with Movement (MWM)
A Mulligan Mobilization with Movement technique will be applied to the talocrural joint. During active weight-bearing lunge movement, a sustained posterior talar glide will be applied by the therapist. The intervention will consist of three sets of ten repetitions.
Sham Mobilization
Participants will perform the same active movement in the same position as the experimental group. The therapist will maintain hand contact without applying a therapeutic posterior talar glide.
