I am undertaking an MSc in Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics, and have reached the research methods module. My research proposal is concerning the possible effects of foot and leg mobilisations, and/or massage upon the incidence of falling in older adults. Does anyone know of literature on this subject (for or against)? I have found one or two papers, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of literature on the subject, especially not literature with clear methodological descriptions of the manual interventions employed.
Thank you in advance for any information.
Ian
