Effects of Subtalar Joint Mobilization with Movement on Muscle Strength, Balance, Functional Performance, and Gait Parameters in Patients with Chronic Stroke: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Losses in muscle strength, balance, and gait are common in patients with chronic stroke (CS). Ankle joint movements play a key role in this population to maintain a sufficient level of functional activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the subtalar joint (STJ) mobilization with movement (MWM) technique on muscle strength, balance, functional performance, and gait speed (GS) in patients with CS.
