Back foot influence on dorsiflexion using three different positions of the weight bearing lunge test

To determine whether back foot (BF) position influences dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) during three different positions the weight bearing lunge test (WBLT). Randomised, repeated measures design. Sports clubs. 52 athletes participating in cutting and pivoting sports. DFROM was obtained using a WBLT BF positions: heel full contact with floor, raised off floor non (NWB). All measurements were methods: inclinometer at tibial tuberosity, toe to wall distance goniometer angle from lateral malleolus fibula head. Differences between testing determined one-way ANOVA reliability analysis performed Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). statistically significantly for all each measurement technique (P < .001). These results associated large effect sizes techniques. Reliability ICC values excellent (ICC 0.94–0.99). Results show that differs depending upon WBLT. Further research is needed establish reproducibility these due variability observed.
