Measurements of maximum ankle dorsiflexion (MAD) are frequently performed in clinical practice, yet no single technique has gained universal acceptance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant difference exists in passive MAD measurement with the subtalar joint in a neutral vs a pronated position. The 18 healthy females who participated in this study had their left ankles passively dorsiflexed with maximum force twice under the two conditions (neutral or pronated). The measurements were obtained from projections of 35 mm slides taken of each trial. A comparison of the mean MAD measurements for trials and condition was performed using a two-way repeated measures analysis of variance. There was no significant difference in the two trials in the neutral position or the two trials in the pronated position. There was, however, a significant difference between the neutral position and the pronated position.
在临床实践中,经常会进行最大踝关节背屈(MAD)测量,但尚无一种技术得到普遍认可。本研究的目的是确定在距下关节处于中立位与旋前位时,被动MAD测量是否存在显著差异。参与本研究的18名健康女性在两种条件下(中立位或旋前位),以最大力量被动背屈其左脚踝两次。测量数据来自于每个试验拍摄的35毫米幻灯片投影。使用双向重复测量方差分析对试验和条件下的平均MAD测量值进行比较。中立位的两次试验或旋前位的两次试验之间均无显著差异。然而,中立位与旋前位之间存在显著差异。
