How Much Does the Talocrural Joint Contribute to Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion During the Weight-Bearing Lunge Test? A Cross-sectional Radiographic Validity Study

Abstract

Tibial inclination during the WBLT primarily occurs at the talocrural joint. While inclinometer and photographic measures of tibial inclination can reliably be used clinically to measure dorsiflexion range of motion during the WBLT, inclinometer results differ slightly from those obtained via radiographs. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(12):934-941.
