Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Range of motion with knee extended	Immediately after the intervention.	The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
Range of motion with knee flexed	Immediately after the intervention.	The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee flexed under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
Pressure pain threshold	Immediately after the intervention.	The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer.It is measured in newtons
