Context: It is very important to empirically determine the optimal ankle position for the
quadriceps femoris (QF) strengthening during isometric exercises. Objective: To examine …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of two different active ankle positions during
training on the strengths of knee extensors and flexors. METHODS: A sample of 21 healthy …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine which ankle position most influences
knee extensor strength in training programs for strengthening the knee extensors using …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ankle position on the
electromyographic (EMG) activity, peak torque, and peak knee flexion to extension torque …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ankle position on knee flexor and
extensor torque at 60 and 180/s. Twelve female athletes had their dominant and non …

BACKGROUND: Assessment of the plantar flexion (PF) isokinetic performance has been
greatly diverse and based on personal preferences rather than standardized guidelines …

Objective The one exercise commonly used to strengthen the anterior thigh musculature is
quadriceps setting exercise. But despite being the most frequently performed exercise, there …

BACKGROUND: There have been multiple studies focusing on the relationship between
ankle muscle torque and fatigue with different body positions but have found conflicting …

Context: Limitations in gastrocnemius/soleus flexibility that restrict ankle dorsiflexion during
dynamic tasks have been reported in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and are …

Isometric quadriceps exercises are used early in knee rehabilitation. Varying knee or foot
position is hypothesized to selectively activate specific quadriceps muscles. This study …
