A passive range of motion examination of each lower limb was conducted prior to assessment of SMC. SCALE was assessed according to Fowler et al. [3] by one of 3 assessors. SCALE assesses 5 sets of movements on both the left and right lower limbs: hip flexion/extension, knee flexion/extension, ankle dorsiflexion/plantarflexion, inversion/eversion of the subtalar joint and toe flexion/extension. Each set of movements is graded as 0, 1 or 2.
Scores for each joint are summed giving a total score with a maximum of 20
