A novel tool for measuring ankle dorsiflexion: A study of its reliability in patients following ankle fractures

Highlights • Weight bearing measurement of ankle dorsiflexion is critical in quantifying physical impairment in patients following ankle fractures. • A lunge ankle dorsiflexion measurement device (LAD), has been devised. • Assessment of ankle dorsal flexion using the novel LAD shows a high inter- an...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Weight bearing measurement of ankle dorsiflexion is critical in quantifying physical impairment in patients following ankle fractures. • A lunge ankle dorsiflexion measurement device (LAD), has been devised. • Assessment of ankle dorsal flexion using the novel LAD shows a high inter- and intra-tester reliability in patients following a fracture of the ankle joint.
