Effects of Static Versus Dynamic Cupping on Ankle Dorsiflexion
… of different methods of cupping therapy on ankle dorsiflexion. <strong>METHODS</strong>: A total of 35 healthy adults (age: 22.1±4.52 years) with an average ankle ROM of 34.68±4.22° at baseline were included in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four cupping therapy groups: …

The surface electromyography-force relationship during isometric dorsiflexion in males and females
This study evaluated sex-related differences in the tibialis anterior (TA) surface electromyography (EMG) to force relationship. One-hundred participants (50 males and 50 females) performed three isometric contractions at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in an …

The Relationship between Dorsiflexion Range of Motion and Knee Kinematics in a Land-and-Jump Task
… between weight-bearing and non weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion and frontal knee kinematics at initial ground contact and maximal knee flexion in a land-and-jump task. Thirteen male participants (age = 23 + 2.35 y, height = 181.4 + 5.68 cm, mass = 84.5 + 17.2 kg) proficient in …

The effect of manipulation to the proximal tibiofibular joint and talocrural joint on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion
Peripheral joint manipulation is an intervention used by manual therapists for a wide array of musculoskeletal problems. There is conflicting evidence on the effect of manipulations on passive ankle dorisflexion range of motion (DFR). A treatment regimen of manipulation of the proximal tibiofibular …

Investigation of the differences in foot and ankle characteristics of patients with lower limb osteoarthritis : implications for clinical practice
… Patients with hip OA demonstrated a lack of dorsiflexion and a greater degree of calcaneal inversion, presenting with a supinated foot. Patients with MCOA demonstrated ample dorsiflexion and a greater degree of calcaneal eversion, presenting with a pronated foot. In general, the healthy …

Ankle Mobility and Lower Extremity Functional Stability Assessment and Intervention for Collegiate Baseball Pitchers
… through the kinetic chain. Limited ankle dorsiflexion may alter stride length and increase injury risk. Purpose: This study aimed to establish a screening tool to identify drive leg ankle imbalances in collegiate pitchers and examine the effects of a targeted exercise program on ankle …

Neuromotor Mechanisms Involved in the Recovery from Local Muscular Fatigue
… protocols consisting of maximal isometric dorsiflexion contractions. Upon completion of the fatigue protocol participants’ force was monitored over a 15 minute recovery period. Dorsiflexion force and surface electromyography (sEMG) from the tibialis anterior and soleus were monitored …

The Role of Voluntary Descending Control in Enhancing Motor Function Via Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation
… tSCS. Muscle responses recorded during isometric dorsiflexion and plantarflexion tasks using varying levels of torque were analyzed. The peak-to-peak muscle responses at the motor threshold amplitude at rest were examined to compare the muscle responses during different levels of voluntary …

An Examination of Contributing Factors to Star Excursion Balance Test in Individuals with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
… knee, static and dynamic postural control, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM), and ankle laxity between individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI) as well as to determine which factors contribute the most to Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) performance in the CAI and …

The effect of whole body vibration on lower body resistance detraining
… extensions, hamstring curls, toe presses and dorsiflexion exercises. All participants were trained one to three times per week for 6 weeks. At the end of the program (Week 6), they were randomized onto either a control group which performed no further training or a WBV group which performed a …

Two-channel surface stimulation for the correction of drop foot.
… drop foot. The clinical objective is to promote dorsiflexion to avoid tripping, and mild eversion for stability during loading. Traditional transcutaneous FES systems require the accurate positioning of surface electrodes on the skin so that the appropriate nerves are activated to give the …

An investigation of the Landing Error Scoring System and clinically assessable sport-related injury risk factors
… Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale (MSRS), and dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) have all been used to assess injury risk factors, although their influence on dynamic movements remains relatively unexplored. Aim: To explore the LESS and other clinically assessable sport-related injury risk …

The Effect of a Specialized Yoga Intervention on Characteristics of Functional Ankle Instability
… training and interventions that improve ankle dorsiflexion have both been successful in reducing characteristics of FAI. Yoga is an exercise modality that incorporates poses emphasizing both single leg balance and ankle dorsiflexion. Additionally, yoga has been shown to be effective as a …

Morphology of the Ankle Collateral Ligaments: Functional and Clinical Considerations
… to the fibular tubercle. The CFL resists dorsiflexion, eversion and fibular abduction, and external rotation. The posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) was attached proximally to the malleolar fossa of the lateral malleolus 9.75 mm from the tip and inserted all the way into the …

Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… are worn to restrict ankle motion. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion has been associated with increased frontal plane knee motion. Volleyball players wear mid-cut shoes (MC) that have an increased collar height rising slightly superior to the talocrural joint and malleoli. The purpose of this study was …

Impact of wearing a robotic exoskeleton on gait parameters and muscle activity in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
… knee flexion-extension and ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion, and muscle activity of the lower extremities. Each participant performed walking under two conditions: with and without wearing the EKSO. RESULTS: There were significant differences between the two conditions in gait …

Development and Application of a BioRobotic Simulation of Stance Phase Gait to Study Foot and Ankle Kinematics
… were repetitively loaded over 10 degrees dorsiflexion and 20 degrees plantarflexion. Platform axes were controlled within 2µm and 0.008 degrees resulting in ATL measurements within ±2N of target conditions. Mean ATLs and IAR values were not significantly different between cycles of motion, …
