MSc thesis - Helen Chong
To test ankle range of motion we can support the participant's leg in a fixed position and apply forces to the foot.
This study examined the potential cultural or anthropometric differences in high flexion postures.
Helen compared North American Caucasians, Canadian-born East Asians, and East Asians born in China, Japan, or Korea. She assessed if movements involved with activities of daily living common among East Asian populations are culturally learned or innate to these populations.
