Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Injuries or surgeries of the foot or ankle joint, rheumatologic pre-existing conditions, arterial hypertension, weight >125 kg, exceptional joint strain in the last 48 hours, body diameter > MRI diameter, general contraindications for MRI examinations (claustrophobia, non-MRI-compatible implants)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime frame
Interobserver Analysis of angle measurements on real time MRI, one of the observers being a keypoint detection model.
