Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion with inclinometer in standingActive Control1 Intervention

The Standing Ankle Dorsiflexion Screen (SADS) will be used as a categorical outcome measure which is a more functional way to measure ankle dorsiflexion and does not require the use of additional equipment. The participant will be instructed to stand in tandem stance, one foot directly in front of the other, and bend both knees as far as they can while keeping their heel in contact with the ground. The examiner will then use a ruler to align the posterior knee with the medial malleolus and determine the position of behind, within, or in front of the malleolus.

Group II: Weight bearing lunge testActive Control1 Intervention

The Weight Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT) will be used to measure closed chain dorsiflexion in participants. A bubble inclinometer will be placed 15 cm below the tibial tuberosity for measurement during the WBLT. Participants will place their foot on a line on the floor which is perpendicular to the wall to help maintain alignment. The participant's heel will be stabilized by an examiner, and they will then be instructed to lunge forward so that their knee reaches a vertical line on the wall. The measurement will then be taken using the inclinometer placed at 15 cm below the tibial tuberosity. The examiner stabilizing the heel will hold the inclinometer in place, while another examiner ensures proper placement of the inclinometer and takes the reading. The WBLT will be completed twice and the average of the two measurements will be taken.
