Ankle adjustment for soccer players
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a quick, hands-on ankle technique (called high-velocity, low-amplitude distraction) to see if it immediately improves ankle movement in soccer players. It may help reduce stiffness and improve performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man aged 18 or older.
- You must have played soccer regularly, either as an amateur or professionally.
- You must not have any recent fractures, metal implants in the ankle, or infections that could make ankle manipulation risky.
- You must not have a medical diagnosis of chronic ankle instability.
- You must be able to understand questionnaires and physical tests, and sign a consent form.
