What is Manual Therapy?
• Systematic approach to examine the way the joints of the body move
• Detailed biomechanical assessment to determine which tissue(s) of the body are causing dysfunction
• Specific hands-on techniques to promote tissue healing and restore normal movement patterns

Considerations for Manual Therapy
• Manual therapy appropriate for musculoskeletal issues only
• Must clear other systems for contraindications, including visceral, vascular, neuroginic, phychogenic & spondylogenic (fractures) issues.
• Must coordinate with surgeon for any precautions post-surgery– Post-op reports are helpful!

Ankle (talocrural/mortise)
joint
• Type: compound, synovial, uni-axial modified sellar (hinge)• Motion: 1 degree of freedom: dorsiflexion/plantarflexion• Joint mechanics: trochlear surface of talus is convex
anterior/posterior, articulates with concave inferior tibial surface, tib & fib malleoli and inferior tib/fib ligament– Conjunct external rotation of talus with endrange DF– Ligaments include lateral collateral & medial collateral– Designed for stability
• Capsular Pattern: more limitation of plantarflexion than dorsiflexion
• Close Packed Position: weight bearing dorsiflexion• Rest Position: 10 degrees plantar flexion

stiffens in full eversion• Close Packed Position: weight bearing eversion (pronation/flat
foot)• Rest Position: mid position

• Joint Mechanics:– Inferior, medial cuboid surface projects proximally to support calcaneous,
provides concave surface– Superior cuboid surface convex, calcaneous concave– Cuboid bone grooved by peroneous longus tendon– Reinforced by calcaneocuboid part of bifurcate ligament, dorsal
calcaneocuboid, long plantar and planter calcaneocuboid (short plantar) ligaments
• Capsular Pattern: ??? As talonavicular, loss of plantarflexion, adduction• Close Packed Position: weight bearing pronation• Rest Position: mid position

– As a group, fan (flatten (less arch) with DF) & fold (PF)• Joint Mechanics
– Medial cuneiform articulates with base of 1st metatarsal– Intermdiate cuneiform with base of 2nd metatarsal– Lateral cuneiform with bae of 3rd metatarsal– Reinforced by dorsal, plantar and interosseous ligaments
• Capsular Pattern: ??? As talonavicular• Close Packed Position: weight bearing pronation• Rest Position: mid position

Superior Tib-Fib Joint
![Page 25: Manual Therapy Summary ANKLE FOOT](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5540c6ab550346c4778b4c07/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint
• Type: plane synovial joint• Joint mechanics: tibial facet is slightly convex and fibular facet
is slightly concave so fibula glides in direction of movement– Small amount of inferior and superior sliding possible– Joint is more relevant to motion of the ankle than to the knee– Inferior joint acts as a pivot for superior joint– Weightbearing dorsiflexion causes fibula to move into abduction, glide
upward and internally rotate = posterior glide due to strong posterior ligament as a hinge & limit of motion
• Capsular pattern: Pain with weightbearing dorsiflexion• Close pack: Weightbearing knee extension with ankle
dorsiflexion?• Rest position: non-weightbearing?
![Page 26: Manual Therapy Summary ANKLE FOOT](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5540c6ab550346c4778b4c07/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
www.therapeuticassociates.com
Superior Tib-Fib Joint Manipulation Anterior
• Quick thrust (HVLAT) to move fibula anteriorly– Joint plane is about 30
degrees off of sagital plane
• Indicated when fibula lacks normal internal rotation
• May restore normal splaying of inferior joint for full dorsiflexion

Distal Tibiofibular Joint
• Type: fibrous syndesmosis (except at inferior of joint, 1 mm hyaline cartilage
• Motion: 1 degree of freedom– Small motion: splaying rotation & glide– 1 – 2 mm spread of bones with DF of the ankle
• Joint Mechanics:– Talus is wider anteriorly and lateral aspect directed– Acts with superior tib/fib joint– Inferior joint acts as a pivot for superior joint– Weightbearing dorsiflexion causes fibula to move into abduction, glide upward
and internally rotate = posterior glide due to strong posterior ligament as a hinge & limit of motion
• Capsular Pattern: pain on weight bearing dorsiflexion• Close Packed Position: weight bearing dorsiflexion tenses ligaments• Rest Position: ??? Plantar flexion non-weight-bearing
