Influence of manual therapy on functional mobility after joint injury in a rat model.
RatOtherMaleManual therapy applied externally to the ankle and knee; analgesics administered separatelyAfter induction of carrageenan joint injury
Model: Acute inflammatory joint injury induced by intra-articular injection of carrageenan into the ankle
Carrageenan injection increased ankle diameter by 64 per cent and reduced running distance by 91 per cent, but neither manual therapy nor analgesic medications restored running wheel activity relative to untreated injured rats.
