Strength and range of motion of the ankle were measured in 20 normal men and 20 normal women divided equally into two age groups (25-35 and 50-60 years). Total range of dorsiflexion/plantar flexion averaged 75 degrees and the total range of inversion/eversion averaged 28 degrees. Few significant differences in range of motion were found between age groups, between men and women, or between dominant and nondominant limbs. Mean torque values for the men were greater than those for the women for all four muscle groups tested (plantar flexors, dorsiflexors, invertors and evertors). Strength of the women ranged from 62 to 70 percent of that of the men, depending upon muscle group. A multiple regression analysis showed that after the variability in muscle strength due to height and lean body weight had been taken into account, the additional variance accounted for by gender was very small. Differences in torque between age groups were not statistically significant. Differences in strength between dominant and nondominant limbs were significant only for the plantar flexors and dorsiflexors of the men.
对20名正常男性和20名正常女性进行了踝关节力量和活动范围的测量，这些人被平均分为两个年龄组（25 - 35岁和50 - 60岁）。背屈/跖屈的总活动范围平均为75度，内翻/外翻的总活动范围平均为28度。在年龄组之间、男性和女性之间，以及优势侧和非优势侧肢体之间，未发现活动范围有显著差异。在所测试的所有四个肌肉组（跖屈肌、背屈肌、内翻肌和外翻肌）中，男性的平均扭矩值均高于女性。女性的力量为男性的62%至70%，具体取决于肌肉组。多元回归分析表明，在考虑了身高和瘦体重导致的肌肉力量变异性之后，性别所解释的额外方差非常小。年龄组之间的扭矩差异无统计学意义。优势侧和非优势侧肢体之间的力量差异仅在男性的跖屈肌和背屈肌中显著。
