Placebo Talocrural Joint Manipulation: This intervention is a classic method used to evaluate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation.
Talocrural Joint Manipulation: This technique, aiming to increase ankle dorsiflexion and mechanoreceptor activation, is based on the application of high velocity low amplitude traction to the joint.
Study summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of talocrural joint manipulation on the ankle proprioception of patients with stroke.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Ankle Proprioception — Change from baseline ankle proprioception immediately after the intervention The effect of talocrural joint manipulation on ankle proprioception will be evaluated using the Cybex isokinetic dynamometer. The device will analyze the passive joint position sense of the ankle in various positions.
