Validation of a Simple Device for the Evaluation of Ankle Plantar- and Dorsi-Flexor Forces Consistent with Standard Clinical Evaluations

Validation of a Simple Device for the Evaluation of Ankle Plantar- and Dorsi-Flexor Forces Consistent with Standard Clinical Evaluations

Measuring the forces produced at the ankle joint is critical to diagnose musculoskeletal pathologies. In standard clinical practice, ankle force is often assessed through manual joint manipulation and visual observation. This study introduces a simple apparatus, the Ankle Force Transducer (AFT), bas...
