AB  - INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have analyzed the effects of manual therapy 
      techniques (MTT) in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Clinicians 
      treat patients according the finding-oriented MTT approach. This approach is 
      seldom pursued in research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 
      feasibility and efficacy of finding-oriented MTT applications in patients with 
      CAI. METHOD: In this randomized controlled, blinded assessor crossover 
      feasibility trial, participants were randomized to receive nine finding-oriented 
      MTT treatments or no treatment during a three-week period, followed by a six-day 
      washout period after which participants were crossed-over. Criteria under 
      evaluation were adherence and attrition rates, safety (adverse events (AEs)) and 
      acceptability and preliminary effects of finding-oriented MTT on muscular 
      activity (measured by surface Electromyography (sEMG)) and on dynamic balance 
      (measured by time to stabilization (TTS) and the modified Star Excursion Balance 
      Test (modified STBT)). RESULTS: Seven women and two men (mean age: 26 +/- 6.1 
      years) with CAI enrolled in this feasibility study. Success criteria showed a 
      high adherence (90%) and low attrition rate (10%). All data could be used for 
      analysis. AEs such as tingling in the foot during a short time frame were 
      reported after four finding-oriented MTT interventions. Preliminary effect sizes 
      showed divergence and few statistically significant results for sEMG. CONCLUSION: 
      The participants were adherent to the finding-oriented MTT intervention. The 
      acceptability of data recording and data analysis was good. In addition, the 
      study protocol should be adapted by adding a 10-min warm up period, a participant 
      familiarization to TTS and modified STBT, and test repetitions.
