This tool estimates calf muscle strength-endurance during the Heel Rise Endurance Test (HRET) assessed with the Calf Raise Application. The normative values are based on data from a large international database.
Instructions
To estimate normative values for calf muscle strength-endurance assessed using the Calf Raise Application.
Download the Calf Raise application on your device. Follow the instructions in the application. Make sure the Heel Rise Endurance Test (HRET) is performed using a standardized protocol.
Please also see: Updated reliability and normative values for the standing heel-rise test in healthy adults (ScienceDirect).
When evaluating calf-muscle strength endurance upon the single-leg HRET expressed in metrics such as the number of repetitions, total work (in Joule) or peak height (in cm).
The reference values provided by this calculator are based on patient characteristics which may help you to improve personalised healthcare. However, the normative values were derived exclusively from the Calf Raise Application. This application has demonstrated excellent reliability, but results of this calculator may not translate directly to normative values for other methods of assessing the HRET. See our full disclaimer below.

Example of the Calf Raise Application.
A round sticker with a diameter of 2.5 cm is placed just below the distal tip of the lateral malleolus of the participant. The Calf Raise Application allows for tracking of this sticker. As the participant goes up, the heel with the adjusted sticker moves upwards and forwards in the screen.
