Lower Extremity Biomechanics, Gastrocnemius Tightness
The Effect of Physiotherapy on Lower Extremity Function and Gait in Children with Isolated Gastrocnemius Muscle Tightness
Since the gastrocnemius muscle crosses both joints, the joint kinematics of the ankle are affected by knee flexion. According to the Kendall \& McCreary assessment of normal joint motion angles, the generally accepted normal…
