SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 1 dayRange of motion of ankle dorsiflexion with knee extended measured in grades using a goniometer. There is not exist minimum and maximum scores for the goniometric assessment, because the limits of the range of motion depends on the joint mobility, then, for this measure, higher values are better results than lower values. Clinically, it means that one patient with 100 degrees of range of motion has more mobility than another with 90 degrees.
