m = mobilization group; i = immobilization group; ADF D = active dorsiflexion angle at discharge; ADF L = active dorsiflexion at last followup; APF D = active plantar flexion at discharge (negative sign (−) when active ankle plantar flexion does not reach neutral or zero position and the angles are recorded in the dorsiflexion range); APF L = active plantar flexion at last followup; TAM D = total active motion at discharge; TAM L = total active motion at last followup; MMST = Manual Muscle Strength Test.
