Table 1 Inter-and intra-operator reliability of Achilles tendon at the neutral ankle neutral. ICC, intraclass correlation coefficients; CI, confidence interval; SEM (N/m), the standard error of measurement; MDC (N/m), the minimal detectable change; A1B, inter-rater reliability; A1A2, intra-rater reliability.
