Effects and Dose-response of Manual Therapy in the ROM of the Ankle in Older People

Limitations of the joint range of the ankle in elderly people is usually common. One of the ways to treat this limitation is through manual therapy, although the effects it produces in dose-response terms are still not well understood. Because of this, this work on the one hand aims to determine the effects and effectiveness of manual therapy and, on the other hand, determine the dose-response necessary for the range of motion of the ankle to improve when applying techniques of manual therapy on the ankle in the older adult.
