Such a great refresher with wonderful tips on research and PT body positioning. I really appreciate this video as a new grad of the PT profession

My wife was helped by PT who performed an A to P Talus from a stabilized Tibia Joint mobilization last week. I now understand the details. I am a health professional who is just now understanding the importance of PT assessment, strength, balance, confidence and return to normal function. wow what a discipline.

Great video and explanation of the technique! I am a student physical therapist and have had trouble with techniques like this with the set up and feeling for the arthrokinematic motion of the talocrural joint. My only question is I noticed the knee moving into flexion and the posterior aspect of the lower leg going into the cushion of the table as you apply downward pressure so how do you know you're actually mobilizing the joint versus just moving the knee and leg into the table? Always felt like I was just moving the leg so how do you prevent this from happening? Thanks!

Very nice presentation! You have large hands, Brent! Would love to see your assistant do these mobilization on your foot.

I do all exercises to make my ankle strong and gain dorsiflexion but in front my ankle hurts and dont know what it is .. exercises seems it's not working .

My ankle feels like bone is touching bone when bend foot after my physical therapist did this. I recovered from ankle fracture. Is this the cause?

[brandon-puvd]

This was so so good! Thank you. Loved all the explanation and the far and close up views and detail on hand placement

I have anterior impingement of both ankles. I had surgery in 10/2020 on my right ankle. Doctor did an arthroscopic surgery on the instep to clear any debris. Also, inserted plastic reinforcement to stabilize the ankle ligament. This surgery did not help with the impingement. I have custom orthotics, another doctor gave me steroid injections, which only helped for about 12 hours. I have been to physical therapy and my doctor will be fitting me for Arizona boots. Also, he will give me a amniotic fluid injections in both ankles next week. I do stretching exercises with a elastic strap that I purchased from my physical therapist. Walking is painful with me having the impingement, which is caused by me having pes cavus feet. I am at a loss for what I need to do next. Thanks.

Hii..i m from India...i went through talus ORIF surgery on 06-03-21..my physiotherapist didn't perform any of these excercises on me..m still struggling hard for full weight bearing.when will I be to walk independently.? I m very tensed

[nancyl]

Can you recommend someone in the Boise ID area that can perform these treatments?

[lmicali]

so you are stabilizing with your right hand and mobilizing with your left hand, correct?

[ryguyiskindofaflyguy]

Brent, i took cipro over a year ago and now my dorsiflexion and great toe extension is crap, if i do a reverse lunge and go into toe extension it hurts so bad, i can barely get my knee over my toes during a soleus stretch!

[swaha]

Great video. Can you do something like this with your foot on a chair and a resistance band around the front of the ankle and then do small presses forward with your knee.

I have tried this and it seems to help.

But why does the ankle dorsiflex with more ROM and easily but then the next day it is stiff and feels like there is some gunk at the ankle crease preventing good, easy gliding movement without feeling like there is swelling or some kind of very uncomfortable pressure at the ankle joint.

[SilentST]

I had an ocd fracture in my right ankle. Ever since I have had extremely terrible dorsiflexion. When I try to self mobilize ( due to my financial situation) it hurts. Is this to be expected?

[mannydeleon]

Very informative.i thought a distraction is needed first before i oscillate.thanks

[d.r.]

Thanks for the knowledge, your are providing! May I ask you about your thougths about therapeutic options for haglund´s deformity? Would you consider some kind of IASTM as an option?
