Three-dimensional ankle joint angles during the stance phase in the three tights type conditions.

Mean and standard errors of the three-dimensional ankle joint angles of both limbs: dorsiflexion (+)/plantarflexion (–), inversion (+)/eversion (–), and internal rotation (+)/external rotation (–) of the 12 participants while walking wearing the three types of tights. The black, blue, and red lines are the mean ankle angles of the 12 participants under Baseline, Normtights, and ICtights conditions, respectively, and the shaded areas in respective colors show the standard errors of the ankle angles during the stance phase. The green shaded area corresponds to the percentage of the stance phase with a significant main effect of tights on the ankle angles.
