Table 2 Inter-and intra-operator reliability of Achilles tendon at the ankle 10° dorsiflexion. 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.
