Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The relative mobility restriction induced by wearing different ankle braces. For this purpose, the joint position is measured as an angle in the acquired coronal and sagittal sequences using the measurement tools available in the PACS. The range of motion in the sagittal and coronal planes is determined for each ankle brace as well as for the unbraced ankle. The relative mobility restriction for each orthosis is calculated in comparison to not wearing an orthosis. This parameter is recorded for each patient after completing all measurements, as each patient is scanned a total of five times (without an ankle brace and with the four different braces) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Interobserver Analysis of angle measurements on real time MRI, one of the observers being a keypoint detection model. | — |
