TABLE 1.

Intraclass correlations coefficients (ICC) and the coefficient of variability (CV) are stated to determine the reliability of included tests.

Parameter	ICC (95% CI)	CV (95% CI)
MVC180	0.997 (0.994–0.999)	0.98% (0.84–1.11)
MVC90	0.987 (0.950–0.993)	2.31% (1.92–2.94)
KtW	0.944 (0.925–0.967)	2.97% (2.24–3.29)
ORTH	0.991 (0.980–0.994)	1.11% (1.00–1.64)
MThL	0.913 (0.892–0.929)	3.31% (2.81–4.02)
MThM	0.947 (0.903–0.968)	2.90 (2.22–3.51)

MVC180 = maximal voluntary contraction in the plantar flexors with extended knee joint, MVC90 = maximal voluntary contraction in the plantar flexors with bent knee joint, KtW = ROM, of the ankle joint using the knee to wall test, ORTH = ROM, of the ankle joint using the goniometer of the orthosis, MThL = muscle thickness of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius, MThM = muscle thickness of the medial head of the gastrocnemius.
