Current Primary Outcome: Visual Analog Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS FA) [ Time Frame: 9 weeks ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

• Activity Index (AI) [ Time Frame: 3, 8 weeks ]
• plantar and inter-metatarsal pressure pain - measured dichotom [ Time Frame: 9 weeks ]
  measured dichotom - pain triggered or not
• rearfoot angle measured in degree ° [ Time Frame: 9 weeks ]
  measured in degree, during standing: the angle for pes valgus (measured at the position of calcaneus)
• dorsal extension capability of the upper ankle joint measured in degree ° [ Time Frame: 9 weeks ]
