About this conference

The calf raise test: Insights into strength-endurance testing of the triceps surae muscle

This talk will cover a series of studies on the calf raise test, one of the most common clinical assessments used for the triceps surae muscles. Specifically, the talk will address whether knee flexion during the test targets the soleus more, what is a ‘normal’ outcome, and how changes in test parameters affect outcomes. The talk will also present the Calf Raise App, a tool developed to assist practitioners and researchers to look beyond the number of repetitions and to further objectivise the performance of the calf raise test.
