Clinical measures of foot posture and ankle joint dorsiflexion do not differ in adults with and without plantar heel pain

Abstract Foot posture and ankle joint dorsiflexion have long been proposed to be risk factors for plantar heel pain, however body mass may be a confounder when investigating these factors. The aim of this study was to determine if clinical measures of foot posture and ankle joint dorsiflexion differ...
