DROM dorsiflexion range of motion, NWB with knee extension non-weightbearing position with knee extended, NWB with knee flexion non-weightbearing position with knee flexed; WB angle weightbearing position angle; WB distance weightbearing position distance
^*Indicates a significant correlation (P < 0.05)
^aComparison results using Fisher's z-transform. Bold font indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05)
