Brief Summary
RCT with two arms: (1) stretch fascia plantaris (6 weeks, n=30) (2) control (n=30); Outcome parameters: ROM ankle and first toe; visco-elastic behaviour of the fascia plantaris determined by means of myotonometry Study protocol: Outcome parameters were evaluated before and after the intervention/control with a 6 weeks interval. All participants were screened bilaterally and for the participants assigned to the intervention group stretching was only performed on the dominant side
