This study sought to investigate the influence of ankle braces on maximum strength of plantar and toe flexor muscles. 21 healthy participants volunteered, and their maximum isometric toe flexor muscle strength (TFS), plantar flexor muscle strength (PFS) and passive range of motion of the ankle joint (ROM) were measured. TFS, PFS and ROM were compared among barefoot as a control (BAR), ankle support (SUP) and ankle splint (SPL) conditions. TFS was significantly lower in SPL (90.7 +/- 32.5N, p
