Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pressure pain threshold

The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer.It is measured in newtons

Time frame: Immediately before intervention.

Range of motion with knee extended

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.

Time frame: Immediately before the intervention.

Range of motion with knee flexed

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.

Time frame: Immediately before the intervention.

Pressure pain threshold
