Those suggested in the literature include limited first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) range of motion (ROM), limited ankle dorsiflexion ROM, leg length discrepancy, reduced heel pad thickness ...

Also, the Dorsiflexion Lunge Test scores reported in the current study are slightly lower than those documented in the literature. [14, 29] Because ankle dorsiflexion ROM decreases with age, [30 ...

ABSTRACT Flossing has been hypothesized to improve joint range of motion (flexibility), potentially through enhanced fascial gliding, although this mechanism remains speculative. This study aimed to ...

Lower leg flossing significantly increased ankle dorsiflexion range of motion by 28.3 ± 19.9% (control: 14.6 ± 12.4%, P = 0.04, d = 0.83). No significant changes were observed in maximum voluntary ...

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% ...

These are the palpation of the tibiofibular ligaments, 14 16 21 the external rotation stress test, 4 22 23 the squeeze test, 7 23–25 the Cotton test 21 23 26 and the fibula translation test. 22 26 ...

To reach the maximum dorsiflexion ROM at the point of discomfort in the stretched calf muscles of the dominant leg, the knee of the other leg could also be flexed. To test hip extension ROM, the ...

No significant correlations were found for triceps surae (rP = –0.12; P = 0.51 to 0.67) and rectus femoris muscle stiffness (rP = 0.25; P = 0.14) with ankle dorsiflexion and hip extension ROM, ...
