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 ...

Cornwall and McPoil found that a mild-to-moderate loss of passive dorsiflexion ROM (the study group had a mean ROM of 9.6°) had little or no effect on the frontal plane function of the rearfoot ...

Ankle dorsiflexion ROM. Ankle dorsiflexion ROM was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 4; Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY, USA). Participants sat with 70° hip flexion and full ...

Ankle dorsiflexion ROM: Ankle dorsiflexion ROM was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 4; Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY, USA). Participants sat with 70° hip flexion and full ...

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% ...

Three studies were included in the review and raw data of these studies were retrieved after contacting the authors. Eight clinical diagnostic tests were investigated; palpation of the tibiofibular ...

Previous training studies with comprehensive stretching durations have reported that an increase in range of motion (ROM) ... stiffness) and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. The correlation ...

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, ...
