Apparatus for measuring ankle dorsiflexion in a patient comprising a foot locating station (15) for locating a patient's foot at a predetermined datum position for dorsiflexion of the ankle. The foot locating station is positioned so that the patient can stand upright at the station (15). A measuring means (1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 17) is positioned, dimensioned and arranged relative to the station (15) so as to be contactable my the patient's knee when the patient flexes the ankle. The measuring means comprises a knee contacting member (1) connected (2) to a pointer (6) that slides along a scale (8) when the patient's knee contacts the member (1) during dorsiflexion of the patient's ankle, and thereby indicates the amount of dorsiflexion of the ankle as a measurement along a linear scale (8). |
