“…In fact, the present study was performed with basketball players and this sport has a very high percentage of ankle sprain [ 36 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] and knee injuries [ 46 ]. To prevent and treat these injuries, clinical guidelines and rehabilitation protocols emphasize achieving more degrees of ankle joint dorsiflexion, especially after an ankle sprain.…”

(1) Background: The aim of the present study was to establish ankle joint dorsiflexion reference values among youth federated basketball players. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional study. The participants were basketball players who belonged to youth basketball developmental teams (female and male) from under-12 (U12) to under-17 (U17) categories. Ankle joint dorsiflexion range of motion was evaluated with the weight-bearing lunge test through the Leg Motion system. The distance achieved was recorded in centimeters. (3) Results: 693 basketball players who met the eligibility criteria and volunteered to participate were included in the study. The mean (SD) of ankle joint dorsiflexion was 10.68 (2.44) cm and the reference values were: excessive hypomobility < 6.09 (0.54) cm; hypomobility 6.09 (0.88) cm–8.43 (0.77) cm; normal 8.44 (0.77)–13.11 (0.79) cm; hypermobility 13.11 (0.74)–15.44 (0.86) cm; and excessive hypermobility >15.44 (0.86) cm. (4) Conclusions: This study provides ankle joint dorsiflexion reference values in youth basketball players from 12 to under 17 years old.
