The results of the study revealed a significant difference between the two training techniques. The group that performed calf ...

A new study examines how we can train our muscles in the stretched position – for partial reps – to reap the rewards and boost muscle growth by 43.3% ...

Try four-way resisted ankle movements to strengthen the ankle in all four directions: plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, eversion and inversion. Dr. Rachel Tavel, PT, DPT, CSCS.

Background Ankle injuries are prevalent in elite volleyball and suggested to result from player contact at the net. Traditionally, ankle sprains are thought to happen in a plantarflexed position, but ...

The absence of ankle plantarflexion is suggestive of a complete Achilles tendon rupture and is termed a "positive" Thompson test (Figure 1). (Enlarge Image) Figure 1.

The technology can be used to train the plantarflexion movement, which is not well addressed by other treatment options. The real-time data analytics allow the foot movement to be adaptive to the user ...

The researchers were interested in whether this extended (dorsiflexion) lengthened position during the calf raises would lead to greater muscle growth than the shortened (plantarflexion) position.
