Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	Immediately before intervention.
Primary	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.	Immediately before the intervention.
Primary	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.	Immediately before the intervention.
Primary	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	Immediately after the intervention.
