The ankle dorsiflexion is measured with the knee in flexion and extension. In extension, contracture of both the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles are measured, while in knee flexion only the soleus is measured. The foot should be supinated to measure only ankle motion as supination locks the subtalar and midfoot joints.
