Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Closed kinetic chain dorsiflexion range of motion (CKCDFROM) measured using a digital inclinometer via an iPhone device at baseline (pre-test) and post-test within a single session | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Injury risk factors present for lateral ankle sprains, including the evidence-informed cut points of 5 cm asymmetry between right and left ankle. CKCDFROM was measured with a digital inclinometer via the iPhone device for both pre- and post-testing sessions, which occurred in stations 2 and 5, respectively, averaging 17 minutes (10-21 min) between stations. | — |
