Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Kinesiology

Background:

  • Limited ankle dorsiflexion (DF) is a risk factor for lower extremity injuries.
  • Traditional ankle DF measurements are time-consuming in athletic settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and discriminant validity of the novel standing ankle dorsiflexion screen (SADS).

Main Methods:

  • A reliability and validity study involving 37 healthy subjects.
  • Two measurement methods were used: a modified lunge with an inclinometer and the SADS.
  • Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and kappa coefficients assessed interrater reliability.

Main Results:

  • The SADS demonstrated excellent interrater reliability (ICC=0.95) and high kappa values (0.61-0.81).
  • High percent agreement (86-94%) was observed between raters.
  • Significant differences in ankle DF ROM were found between SADS categories ('behind' vs. 'beyond').

Conclusions:

  • The SADS exhibits excellent reliability and discriminant validity for assessing closed-chain ankle DF ROM.
  • It serves as an efficient screening tool for identifying limited ankle dorsiflexion.
