[Intracompartmental pressure of the anterior tibial compartment as a function of body and joint position].
We measured the intracompartmental pressure in the anterior tibial compartment of 27 volunteers under different experimental conditions. First we recorded the pressure in the proximal, middle, and distal third of the compartment as well as at different depths of the muscle. Thereafter the pressure was measured in the lying, sitting and standing positions, and at different positions of the knee and ankle joint. There was no difference in pressure in the various parts of the muscle. However, there was a significant difference between the lying, sitting and standing positions. Dorsal flexion of the ankle resulted in an increase in the intracompartmental pressure in dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle.
