Ankle Mobilization

This document discusses various mobilization techniques for the knee and ankle. It describes techniques such as tibiofemoral distraction and glides to increase flexion, extension, and mobility. It also discusses patellofemoral glides, proximal and distal tibiofibular glides, and talocrural and subtalar glides and distractions to increase mobility in the ankle and improve dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and inversion/eversion. The indications provided are for testing, initial treatment, pain control, and improving general mobility.
