Effect of Position on Ankle Dorsiflexor, Hallux Dorsiflexor and Plantar Flexor Muscle Strength: Are Ankle Dorsiflexor and Plantar Flexor Muscle Strengths Greater in the Standing Position Compared to the Supine Position?

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in ankle dorsiflexor, hallux dorsiflexion and plantar flexor muscle strength measured in the supine position compared with the standing position. Muscle strength assessments are commonly performed in different body positions; however, the effect of weight-bearing and postural demands on ankle muscle strength measurements remains unclear. Understanding the influence of testing position may improve the standardization and clinical interpretation of muscle strength assessments.
