Manipulation method for the treatment of ankle equinus

HJ Dananberg, J Shearstone and M Guillano
New Hampton School, NH, USA.

Ankle equinus is a well-known clinical entity that has previously been shown to compound a variety of foot and ankle conditions. Treatments for this disorder have included surgery to lengthen the Achilles tendon and daily stretching. This article describes a method of manual manipulation that can immediately and substantially increase ankle joint dorsiflexion. Patients treated with manipulation in the current study demonstrated nearly twice as much dorsiflexion motion as that demonstrated by patients in a prior study who were treated with a 5-minute daily stretching program for 6 months.
