Brief Summary
After an ankle injury like distorsions, fractures or arthrodeses, or congenital defects ankle support limit the range of motion in the joint, help pain relief, control loading of the injured tissues and promote recovery of a normal gait pattern. Gait analysis is applied in orthopedics, sport science and rehabilitation. Numerous measure systems and methods enable accurate analysis of human movement. The study is set to describe and compare the gait analysis of two modifiable stability boots (Ortho® Tri-Phase and the VACOped®) on the standard walking parameters during two conditions (level and ramp walking) in healthy adults and draw comparisons with a control indoor shoe.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
ROM Ankle Joint
Ankle joint motion ROM Sagittal left, during gait
duration of a session is typically 3 hours
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Symmetrie Index
duration of a session is typically 3 hours
Study Arms (2)
Controll-VACOped-Ortho Tri
EXPERIMENTALAll participants are in the control and the two intervention group. The instant change of the ankle joint motion is analyzed. For control, the participants are wearing Sport shoes.This group had the VACOped as the first intervention.
