A four-week rehabilitation program (Monday to Friday) involving the hour of individual ankle therapy and one hour therapy on the Luna EMG device.

A four-week rehabilitation program (Monday to Friday) involving two hours of individual ankle therapy.

The duration of the overall therapeutic intervention in both groups will be the same.

EMG will be performed using the Luna EMG device also allowing the treatment and diagnosis. With Luna EMG we can supply objective, data driven diagnosis. Innervation diagnosis and motor unit recruitment through surface electromyography. We'd like to assess bioelectrical activity at the tibialis anterior muscle during relaxing for two minutes (mean, minimum and maximum electrical activity in muscle - in microvolts).

EMG will be performed using the Luna EMG device also allowing the treatment and diagnosis. With Luna EMG we can supply objective, data driven diagnosis. Innervation diagnosis and motor unit recruitment through surface electromyography. We'd like to assess bioelectrical activity at the tibialis anterior muscle activation patterns during three times dorsiflexion (mean, minimum and maximum electrical activity in muscle - in microvolts).

The muscle strength in Lovett scale is graded on a scale of 0-5:

Grade 5: Muscle contracts normally against full resistance. Grade 4: Muscle strength is reduced but muscle contraction can still move joint against resistance.

Grade 3:Muscle strength is further reduced such that the joint can be moved only against gravity with the examiner's resistance completely removed.

Grade 2: Muscle can move only if the resistance of gravity is removed. Grade 1: Only a trace or flicker of movement is seen or felt in the muscle or fasciculations are observed in the muscle.

Grade 0: No movement is observed. Higher values represent a better outcome. We'd like to asses foot dorsiflexor muscle strength.

Measurement of resistance during passive plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.

Scorse range from 0 to 4, with 5 choices:

Grade 0: No increase in muscle tone. Grade 1: Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch and release or by minimal.

resistance when the affected part is moved in flexion or extension. Grade 2: More marked increase in muscle tone, but affected part(s) easily moved.

Grade 3: Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult. Grade 4: Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension. Higher values represent a worse outcome.
