Background Accurate measurement of ankle dorsiflexion is important in both research and
clinical practice as restricted motion has been associated with many foot pathologies and …

Objective The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the association between
ankle dorsiflexion (ADF) and dynamic knee valgus (DKV). Methods Electronic searches …

Ankle dorsiflexion measurement is important for clinical and research use. With so much
evidence on the unreliability of goniometric measurements, a systematic review was …

Background: Contracture of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex has well-documented
deleterious effects on lower-limb function in spastic or neurologically impaired individuals …

Methods: Twenty healthy subjects (mean±SD, age= 24±3 years, height= 173.2±8.1 cm,
mass= 72.6±15.2 kg) participated in this study. Ankle dorsiflexion ROM measures were …

BACKGROUND: Altered lower limb movement patterns (LLMP) during the forward step
down (FSD) test have been studied in people suffering from knee instability. However, ankle …

Motion of a reduced quantity has been referred to as' equinus' and the widely accepted
theory is that when equinus is present, an abnormal foot function occurs. For normal foot …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the intrinsic factors influencing the deep
squatting posture and to investigate the utility of ankle joint dorsiflexion measurement using …

Background Weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion range of motion measurement (weight-
bearing lunge test) is gaining in popularity because it mimics lower extremity function in …

Context: In clinical practice, the range of motion (ROM) of the noninvolved side often serves
as the reference for comparison with the injured side. Previous investigations of non–weight …
