Primary outcomes

  1. Range of motion

    Time frame: At the beginning and at 9 months

    Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint

  2. Musculature Strength

    Time frame: At the beginning and at 9 months

    Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests

  3. Presence of Myofascial trigger points

    Time frame: At the beginning and at 9 months

    Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed.

  4. Speed of contraction of the musculature

    Time frame: At the beginning and at 9 months

    By means of the isokinetic tests and the aforementioned exploratory curves, the speed of contraction of the musculature of the back of the leg and foot will be evaluated
