Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Primary biomechanical outcome:<br /><br>Range of Motion (the maximum motion in ankle joint) during stance phase.<br /><br><br /><br>Priamry clinical outcome:<br /><br>Pain (daily average) around the ankle measured through Visual Analogue Scale<br /><br>(VAS) .</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary biomechenical outcomes:<br /><br>Joint moments of ankle and knee<br /><br>Step rate/lenght and stance time<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br>Secondary clinical outcome:<br /><br>Pain (daily maximum) around the ankle measured through Visual Analogue Scale<br /><br>(VAS) .</p><br>
