Rotation of upper body during knee to wall test
I wanted to asses my ankle dorsiflexion by using the knee to wall test. When I put my right foot a hand's width away from the wall and push my knee towards the wall, I can't get to the wall when I am facing the wall straight ahead.
If I rotate my upper body such that I look to left while still pushing my right knee to the wall, suddenly I am able to push quite a lot further and touch the wall.
What does this indicate? During both positions of my upper body I make sure that my knee goes over the middle of my foot and doesn't trail to the left or right. Since the position/movement of my ankle/the position of my foot relative to my lower leg does not change, the limiting factor has to be something else. What is it though? I can't make any sense out of it.
The same is somewhat true of my left leg. When I rotate such that I face towards the right hand side, the knee to wall test becomes easier. I can touch the wall with my left knee even without rotating my upper body though. My right ankle/leg seems more limited.
Edit: when I squat, my right foot tends to externally rotate a bit more than my left foot as well. Does this point towards lacking internal rotation of my hip?
