In a talocrural posterior glide joint mobilization, what is the patient position?
Supine
Prone
Sitting
Lateral decubitus
Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
Supine
Explanation:
A talocrural posterior glide is aimed at moving the talus backward within the ankle mortise to help improve dorsiflexion. Placing the patient supine allows easy, stable access to the ankle while you stabilize the lower leg with one hand and apply the posterior-directed glide to the talus with the other. The supine position also makes it simple to adjust the knee toward slight flexion, which relaxes the gastrocnemius and reduces guarding, improving tolerance and effectiveness of the mobilization. Overall, supine provides the most stable, accessible setup for precise, controlled posterior glide at the ankle.
