Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • VAS (Visuoanalogic scale)

    Visuoanalogic Scale during walking. Range 0 (No pain) -10 (maximum pain)

    Between recruitment and 30 days

  • AFAS (American Foot and Ankle Score) is the American Foot and Ankle Scale

    It is a measurement of active ROM and deambulation of the patient. Range 0 (no function) -100 (perfect function)

    Between Recruitment and 15 days

  • AFAS is American Foot and Ankle Scale

    It is a measurement of active ROM and deambulation of the patient (Range 0-100)

    Between Recruitment and 30 days

  • AFAS is American Foot and Ankle Scale

    It is a measurement of active ROM and deambulation of the patient (Range 0-100)

    Between Recruitment and 60 days
