group gained voluntary ankle dorsiflexion. Between-group difference of percentage change<br />

was not significant (p>0.05). Although walking velocity increased both in the SES (13%) and<br />

in the placebo group (13%), the difference between pre- and post-treatment data was not<br />

significant. Gait kinematics was improved in both groups but the between-group difference<br />

between the groups was not significant.<br />
