Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Claudication Pain Distance. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: It is measured based on the distance covered until the onset of pain on the treadmill.;Claudication Pain Time. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: It is measured based on the time elapsed until the onset of pain on the treadmill.;Maximal Walking Distance. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: It is measured based on the distance covered up to the endurance limit on the treadmill.;Maximal Walking Time. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: Based on the time the patient has walked on the treadmill to the limit.;6 Minutes Walk Test. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: The patient is asked to walk a distance of 30 meters as many times as possible and at the end of the sixth minute, the distance traveled is measured.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) assessment: The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score is among the most commonly used instruments for measuring the outcome of treatment in patients who sustained a complex ankle or hindfoot injury. It combines a clinician-reported and a patient-reported part. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately and 72 hours after the intervention. Method of measurement: The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) has a four-point Likert scale. The total score is divided into three sub-headings, which include pain, function and alignment. A maximum score of 100 is obtained by combining patient-reported pain and function scores and physician-assessed gait (in terms of alignment).
