| Popis: | [Purpose] The purpose of this study is to consider the correlation between ankle plantar flexor strength and leg extensor torque in order to investigate whether the leg extension torque can be expected to increase as the triceps surae muscle strength is increased. [Participants and Methods] Healthy adults of 30 males and 22 females were recruited. Hand Held Dynamometer was used to measure ankle plantar flexor strength. Strength Ergo 240 was used to measure leg extensor torque. After measurement, a correlation between these factors was investigated by gender. [Results] For both males and females, a significant positive correlation between the left and right ankle plantar flexor strength and leg extensor torque was observed. [Conclusion] Actively performing muscle strengthening exercises for ankle plantar flexor by physical therapists was found to be meaningful in increasing leg extensor torque. |
