Introduction Impaired ankle dorsiflexion (ADF) is known to increase forefoot pressure, which
is associated to various pathologies affecting the foot and ankle. M. gastrocnemius tightness …

Background Musculus gastrocnemius tightness (MGT) can be diagnosed by comparing
ankle dorsiflexion (ADF) with the knee extended and flexed. Although various measurement …

Common foot and ankle pathologies have been linked to isolated Musculus gastrocnemius
tightness (MGT). Various examination techniques have been described to assess MGT. Still …

Measurement of ankle joint dorsiflexion is routinely undertaken by clinicians who manage
lower limb musculoskeletal pathology. This study aimed to determine the reliability of a …

Background: Several studies report performing a recession of the gastrocnemius tendon as
surgical treatment of foot and ankle pain related to an isolated gastrocnemius contracture …

Context: Limited ankle DF (DF) range of motion (ROM) resulting from restricted
gastrocnemius and soleus mobility is associated with a variety of lower extremity …

Background: Goniometric measurement is currently being used as a diagnostic and
