Asymmetry of plantar flexion strength in the foot
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica
|April 1, 1978
Abstract:
A study of plantar flexion strength and calf circumference in 30 conscripts is submitted. It showed an asymmetry of strength amounting to 6--11 per cent (95 per cent confidence limits). The right leg was significantly stronger than the left, but there was no difference in strength between the dominant and non-dominant leg. There was little correlation between circumference and strength.
