An apparatus for anterior and posterior mobilization of the human
talocrural joints for rehabilitation and/or therapeutic utilization. A
patient's foot is secured in an apparatus and an Ankle Mortise Strap is
looped around the mortise of an ankle of the foot. A force strap is
attached to the ends of the Ankle Ankle Mortise Strap. Anterior
mobilization is achieved by moving the force strap ventrally from the
foot so that the foot including the talus remains stationary while the
tibia and fibula glide anteriorly. Posterior mobilizations are achieved
by securing the foot, and looping an Ankle Mortise Strap around the front
of the ankle. A force strap is attached to the ends of the Ankle Mortise
Strap. Posterior mobilization is achieved by moving the force strap
dorsally from the foot so that the foot including the talus remains
stationary while the tibia and fibula glide posteriorly.
