DOI: 10.1177/09544119211002932
Abstract: Conventionally, the strength of toe plantar flexion (STPF) is measured in a seated position, in which not only the target toe joints but also the knee and particularly ankle joints, are usually restrained. We have… read more here.

Can Weakness in End-Range Plantar Flexion After Achilles Tendon Repair Be Prevented?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine"
DOI: 10.1177/2325967118774031
Abstract: Background: Disproportionate end-range plantar flexion weakness, decreased passive stiffness, and inability to perform a heel rise on a decline after Achilles tendon repair are thought to reflect increased tendon compliance or tendon lengthening. Since this… read more here.
