Reliability of a Functional Test Battery Evaluating Functionality, Proprioception and Strength of the Ankle Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male volunteers participated in this study. One component of the test battery included five different functional ability tests, which included: single limb hopping course, onelegged and triple-legged hop for distance, and six-meter (6-m) and cross 6-m hop for time. Ankle joint position sense and one leg standing test were used for proprioceptive evaluation. Isokinetic strength of the ankle invertor and evertor muscles were evaluated at a velocity of 120°/sec. Reliability of the test battery was assessed by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
