Efeitos da manipulação na articulação sacroilíaca e transição lombossacral sobre os sinais de indivíduos portadores de instabilidade do tornozelo

TL;DRAbstract

Joint manipulation has been used in physical therapy to increase joint mobility and generate reflexive responses for a consequent reduction in pain and improvement in motor control and flexibility. Individuals with ankle instability exhibit altered motor control in the lower limb ipsilateral to the unstable ankle as well as altered postural control, which can affect the symmetry of postural muscles. The aim of these three studies was to evaluate the effect of the manipulation of the sacroiliac joint and lumbosacral transition on electrical activity in the muscles that move the ankle and lumbar spine, the pain pressure threshold, flexibility and asymmetry of the lumbar paravertebral muscles at L5. Twenty volunteers were allocated to either an experimental group (n = 10), which was submitted to manipulation of the sacroiliac joint and lumbosacral transition, or a control group (n = 10), which was submitted to a maneuver with no therapeutic effect. Electromyographic evaluations were perfo
