Objectives: To determine the inter-rater reliability and criterion validity of two-dimensional (2D) measures of ankle function in the sagittal plane for participants with Achilles tendinopathy (AT).
Design: Cohort study.
Setting: University Laboratory, Participants, Adults with AT (N = 18, Women: 72.
