Abstract:
We compared goniometric assessment of passive ankle movement with radiographic measurements in 100 normal ankles. Significant differences were recorded in both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion; clinical measurements overestimated the range of movement. For scientific documentation of tibiotalar mobility, radiographic measurements should be used.
