Mean maximum, minimum, and average ankle joint angles and ankle range of motion (ROM) and standard deviation for the tendon excision (TE) only group and tendon excision and replacement (PET-SI) group at baseline (B, pre-surgery), 2 weeks post-surgery, and 8 weeks post-surgery during A stance phase of gait, and B swing phase of gait. PF – Plantarflexion; DF – Dorsiflexion. A larger angle indicates greater plantarflexion/less dorsiflexion. * indicates significant (p < 0.05) differences between timepoints across groups. a, b indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences between timepoints within a group. Table 3 gives specific p-values for each comparison
