Association between weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion range of motion during deep squat sitting and quality of life after ankle fracture surgery: a cross-sectional study
Weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion ROM during deep squat sitting and gait speed were associated with QOL of patients after ankle fracture surgery. These findings may inform treatment programs to improve QOL after ankle fractures and provide the theoretical background necessary for the development of new treatments.
