“…However, articles were rejected based on other criteria listed heretofore. Ultimately, 13 studies qualified for inclusion [5][6][7][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] (Table 1). Qualified studies were mostly conducted in Sweden (n=5) or North America (n=4), but one study was also completed in Australia, Taiwan, England, and India.…”

“…The HRT is a widely used measure of ankle plantar flexion strength suitable for patients who are able to stand without physical assistance. Variations exist regarding the standing test surface (eg, presence or absence of inclination) 12,14) , the ankle excursion criterion used (eg, full ankle range versus >50% range) 7,12,15) and rate of performance (eg, 1 raise/s vs. 2 raises/s.) 5-7, 11, 12) .…”

“…Chief among these alternatives is the "heel-rise test" (HRT) 5) . Numerous articles describing different procedures for performing the HRT have been described, but normative values have only been the focus of a few articles [5][6][7][8][9] . As normative values obtained with specific procedures are necessary for the interpretation of measurements obtained from testing individuals 10) , I undertook the present review and meta-analysis of HRT performance.…”

The heel-raise test (HRT) is sometimes used to quantify ankle plantarflexion strength. However, descriptions of the test vary and normative values are limited. This paper, therefore was generated to summarize procedures and provide normative values for the HRT in a younger and older age group of adults. [Methods] Electronic and hand searches were conducted to identify relevant literature. Meta-analysis was used to provide norms.[Results] Among 439 nonduplicative articles identified, 13 qualifying articles were ultimately included. Procedures for the HRT described in the studies varied considerably. The mean number of HRT repetitions was 28.7 for adults with a mean age less than 40 years and 11.8 for adults with a mean age greater than 60 years. [Conclusion] This study provides information on HRT performance and norms derived with them for younger and older adults.

The study presents a new approach for assessing plantarflexor muscles’ function using a smartphone. The test involves performing repeated heel raises for 60 s while seated. The seated heel-rise test offers a simple method for assessing plantarflexor muscles’ function in those with severe balance impairment who are unable to complete tests performed while standing. The study aimed to showcase how gyroscopic data from a smartphone placed on the lower limb can be used to assess the test. Eight participants performed the seated heel-rise test with each limb. Gyroscope and 2D video analysis data (60 Hz) of limb motion were used to determine the number of cycles, the average rise (T-rise), lowering (T-lower), and cycle (T-total) times. The number of cycles detected matched exactly when the gyroscope and kinematic data were compared. There was good time domain agreement between gyroscopic and video data (T-rise = 0.0005 s, T-lower = 0.0013 s, and T-total = 0.0017 s). The 95% CI limits of agreement were small (T-total −0.1118, 0.1127 s, T-lower −0.1152, 0.1179 s, and T-total −0.0763, 0.0797 s). Results indicate that a smartphone placed on the thigh can successfully assess the seated heel-rise test. The seated heel-rise test offers an attractive alternative to test plantarflexor muscles’ functionality in those unable to perform tests in standing positions.
