DOI: 10.1177/2325967119883357
Abstract: Background: Weakness in end-range plantarflexion has been demonstrated after Achilles tendon repair and may be because of excessive tendon elongation. The mean frequency (MNF) of surface electromyogram (EMG) data during isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)… read more here.

Abstract: Background Ankle-targeting resistance training for improving plantarflexion function during walking increases rehabilitation intensity, an important factor for motor recovery after stroke. However, understanding of the effects of resisting plantarflexion during stance on joint kinetics and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10102093
Abstract: The muscle strength of the knee extension and plantarflexion plays a crucial role in determining gait speed. Recent studies have shown that no-load angular velocity of the lower limb joints is essential for determining gait… read more here.
