- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find a reduction in ankle edema, verified by perimetry in 8” using a measuring tape positioned around the ankle, from the finding of a significant difference in the comparison between the groups in the post-intervention period;It is expected to find a reduction in the level of pain, verified through the visual analogue scale in which the participants must indicate their level of pain in a 10 cm line with the extremes indicating no pain” and worst possible pain”, the from the observation of a significant difference in the comparison between the groups in the post-intervention period;It is expected to find an increase in the level of functionality, verified through the FAAM questionnaire (Foot and Ankle Ability Measure), which indicates the degree of functionality in percentage, the higher the percentage, the better the functionality related to the ankle, based on the observation of a significant difference in the comparison between groups in the post-intervention period
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find an increase in the dorsiflexion range of motion, verified through the "lunge test" that evaluates the dorsiflexion in the maximum position and with an inclinometer positioned on the tibia, the dorsiflexion ROM is measured through the angle between the tibial and vertical axis, based on the finding of a significant difference in the comparison between the groups in the post-intervention period;It is expected to find an increase in the range of motion of plantar flexion, verified through the test in the "hook-lying" position that evaluates the plantar flexion in the maximum position and with an inclinometer positioned on the tibia, the ROM of plantar flexion is measured through the angle between the tibial and vertical axis, based on the finding of a significant difference in the comparison between the groups in the post-intervention period
