To analyse the outcome of the AFO-treatment for range of motion the differences in passive ankle dorsiflexion with the knee extended, including gastrocnemius, were calculated between the ...

Provocative testing engages the gastrocnemius muscle through active plantar flexion and passive dorsiflexion. A positive examination results in popliteal artery compression and manifests as diminished ...

In each patient the criteria outlined above were exactly satisfied. In 3 cases there was neither pain nor limitation of dorsiflexion on forced passive dorsiflexion of the foot (Homans test).

Eleven healthy volunteers took part in the pre-clinical phase of the study. According to the protocol, brain activity was recorded by 165-channel magnetoencephalography (MEG) under three different ...

There was no pain with passive stretching of the great toe, but the patient endorsed pain with passive dorsiflexion of the ankle. The patient was neurovascularly intact distally, ...

There was diffuse tenderness in the calf and pain on passive dorsiflexion of the foot. There were no superficial thrombosed veins; no tenderness was noted in the thigh.

Gait impairment is an important consequence of neurological disease. Passive mobilization of the affected lower limbs is often prescribed in order to safeguard tissue properties and prevent ...

What it does: This move increases ankle dorsiflexion: the front-to-back plane of movement, which is critical for running, walking, squatting, skiing, and more.If an ankle doesn’t bend well ...

Before the passive dorsiflexion assessment, two cycles of passive dorsiflexion were performed to familiarize the participants and to prevent a conditioning effect of passive stretching on the ...

According to the data collected, the shear wave speeds of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius measured at 15˚ dorsiflexion was negatively associated with passive ROM in the young, but not older men.
