Text: While participants were wearing the brace, ankle plantar flexion at initial ground contact (brace = 35 degrees + / - 13 degrees, no brace = 38 degrees + / - 15 degrees, P =. 024), maximum dorsiflexion (brace = 21 degrees + / - 7 degrees, no brace = 22 degrees + / - 6 degrees, P =. 04), dorsiflexion range of motion (brace = 56 degrees + / - 14 degrees, no brace = 59 degrees + / - 16 degrees, P =. 001), and knee flexion range of motion (brace = 79 degrees + / - 16 degrees, no brace = 82 degrees + / - 16 degrees, P =. 036) decreased, whereas knee flexion at initial ground contact increased (brace = 12 degrees + / - 9 degrees, no brace = 9 degrees + / - 9 degrees, P =. 0001).
