Study Design Cross-sectional study. Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between open kinetic chain (OKC) ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM) and the Weight ...

To test your ankle dorsiflexion, try the knee-to-wall test ... Applying ice after diathermy can also help to increase your range of motion.

AFOs to improve function were mostly used by children at GMFCS level IV (63%), while AFOs to maintain/increase ankle dorsiflexion were most frequent in children at GMFCS level V (61%). The use of ...

Each cadet underwent measurements of seven intrinsic variables: hip range of motion, leg length discrepancy, lean calf girth, maximum ankle dorsiflexion range, foot type, rear foot alignment, and ...

Physiotherapists reported achievement of functional goals in 73% of the children using AFOs and maintenance or improvement in range of ankle dorsiflexion in 70%. Conclusions AFOs were used by half ...
