Technical Details
- Variable Type: Discrete Metric
- Data Type: Float
- Units: degrees (°)
- Column Name:
lunge_forward_max_right_ankle_flexion_angle,lunge_forward_max_left_ankle_flexion_angle - Measurement: Maximum ankle dorsiflexion from Initiation to End
Description
Max ankle flexion angle is the peak dorsiflexion achieved at each ankle during the lunge. The 90° offset normalizes the angle so that 0° represents neutral (perpendicular shank–foot alignment). Greater dorsiflexion reflects better ankle mobility, which supports deeper and more controlled lunge positions. Both sides are reported regardless of footedness.Use Cases
- Ankle dorsiflexion mobility assessment
- Bilateral ankle mobility comparison
- Identifying ankle restrictions limiting lunge depth or form
