About this study

The pilot study was conducted in the form of an open prospective single-arm observational study. The data of 28 patients who received physiotherapy at the Spiraldynamik® Med Center in Zurich was evaluated. The endpoints of Visual Analog Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS FA), Activity Index (AI), plantar and inter-metatarsal pres-sure pain, rearfoot angle and dorsal extension capability of the upper ankle joint were individually compared and analyzed before and after therapy.
