Abstract
<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the application of muscle compression to stretch the soleus muscle without moving the ankle joint contributes to the prevention of ankle dorsiflexion limitation in a situation in which the ankle joint is fixed in maximum plantar flexion position. [Subjects and Methods] In 8-week-old male Wistar rats, the left hindlimb was subjected to joint fixation and the right hindlimb to joint fixation and muscle compression. [Results] Results showed that muscle compression did not prevent the occurrence of joint range of motion limitation. [Conclusion] Further study of the joint fixation limb position and compression method is needed in the future.</p>
