The role of the plantarflexor muscles on the daily life functioning in typically developing children
Dynamic tasks with a high demand on the plantarflexor muscles, such as running and one-leg-hopping could be used to quantify deficits in patient populations with plantarflexor weakness that are not visible during walking. Furthermore, these tasks could be used during functional evaluation or training in these patient populations.
