[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ankle joint position on foot-gripping strength. [Subject and Methods] Subjects were 20 healthy women. We compared the foot-gripping strength among three ankle positions which include 10°of dorsal flexion, neutral position, 10°of plantar flexion position. [Results] A repeated analysis of variance showed that the strength of dorsal flexion was significantly lower than that of others two positions. [Conclusion] These results suggested that a neutral position and 10° of dorsal flexion were better angle than 10°of plantar flexion to produce maximum footgripping strength.
