The single-leg heel raise does not predict maximal plantar flexion strength in healthy males and females.
<h4>Introduction</h4>The single-leg heel raise test (SLHR) is commonly used in clinical settings to approximate plantar flexor strength, yet this is neither validated nor supported physiologically. The purposes of this study were to: determine (1) associations between SLHR repetitions, m...
