Results
A significant difference was observed between groups in the primary outcome, the change in knee extension muscle strength, with the dorsiflexion group showing significantly higher values compared to the control group (p=0.009). No significant difference was observed between groups in the secondary outcome, the change in toe grip strength (p=0.372). No adverse events related to this study were observed.
