Posterior talar glides are effective at improving ankle dorsiflexion range of motion.

Regional Interdependence: Hip and Ankle

The relationship between the hip and ankle on kinematics and muscle activity of the lower body. The effects of overactivity of the gastrocnemius, soleus, hip internal rotators (TFL and adductors), excessive pronation, and under activity of the gluteus maximus and medius (glutes) have on patellofemoral syndrome (PFPS), Achilles injury, knee injury (meniscus and ACL/MCL tears), running mechanics, gait, hip pain, knee pain, and ankle pain. The reliability, validity, and application of assessment and intervention for lower extremity and lumbopelvic hip complex dysfunction.
