Impact of lower muscle stiffness on ankle dorsiflexion restriction in children with cerebral palsy evaluated using ultrasound elastography
Flexor hallucis longus muscle stiffness, in addition to triceps surae muscle stiffness, was shown to impact dorsiflexion range; attention should be paid to muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy.
