Relationship between ankle strength and range of motion and postural stability during single-leg quiet stance in trained athletes

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between strength of ankle plantar and dorsal flexors and range of motion (RoM), and body sway variables during single-leg quiet stance, in highly trained athletes. The participants for this study were young athletes from 9 disciplines...
