The Relation of Ankle Mobility and Achilles Tendon, Plantar Fascia and Iliotibial Band Mechanical Properties

The measurement method of the device is based on the free oscillation technique. Firstly, the probe of the device is placed perpendicular to the skin and a pre-pressure is applied to compress the subcutaneous tissue. Then, a short mechanical impulse is applied, causing damped oscillation on the tissue and the co-oscillation is recorded by an accelerometer.

The knee to wall lunge test will use in a standing position while the heel in contact with the ground and the knee was in line with second toe. Athletes will do lunge forward and inclinometer will be place at the middle anterior tibial crista and measurement will be record.
