Passive Dorsiflexion Flexibility after Cast Immobilization for Ankle Fracture
Nightingale, Elizabeth J PhD, et al. - Surgical fixation was associated with higher stiffness, preload and torque values. Passive ankle flexibility does not return to normal values within 3 months of cast removal after ankle fracture. Recovery of normal ankle dorsiflexion flexibility typically takes longer than the initial period of immobilization [more...]
