Effect of immobilization on ankle dorsiflexion strength.
This study was performed in order to determine the loss of strength of the dorsiflexors in healthy persons after immobilization of the ankle, and the ability of these muscles to regain strength. First, isometric ankle dorsiflexion strength was measured in 33 healthy male and 39 female subjects in age categories 20-40 and 40-80 years, in order to obtain reference data and to determine the reprod...

متن کاملAnkle dorsiflexion delay can predict falls in the elderly.
The aim of this study was to investigate the kinematic and kinetic characteristics of walking in healthy non-faller elderly in order to develop predictive parameters for falls. A 1-year prospective trial was completed on a walking circuit with two integrated force platforms and an optoelectronic system for three-dimensional movement analysis. Gait was investigated in 54 volunteers who were heal...

متن کاملAnkle and first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion in children with clubfoot.
It has been hypothesised that the stiffness of the plantar aponeurosis after clubfoot surgery affects push-off. Because the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint motion relies on the plantar aponeurosis, it was important to determine whether there was a lack of first MTP joint motion in children with clubfoot that also affected push-off. By examining the motion of the first MTP joint using a mo...
