Summary:Arthrokinematics (caudal and posterior movements of the talus) and posterior soft tissues of the ankle during ankle dorsiflexion have not been objectively evaluated in detail. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of arthrokinematics and posterior soft tissues of the ankle during ankle dorsiflexion using ultrasound. Thirteen healthy adults participated in the study. Participants whose passive dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) of the ankle joint was
