NCT02924259 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: No.17-039
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 45
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a foam rolling intervention on pressure pain thresholds (PPT) of the ipsilateral antagonist and contralateral muscle groups. Through this research we sought to gather data to further develop the methodology for future studies of this intervention.

Conditions

Myofascial Pain Syndromes

Keywords

muscle soreness; pain; myofascial release

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline pressure pain threshold to immediate post intervention.

  Pressure pain threshold will be tested immediately before the intervention and immediately after the intervention on the left hamstring and right quadriceps muscle groups.

  baseline and immediately post intervention

Foam Roll Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will undergo a 2-minute video-guided foam roll intervention on the left quadriceps muscle using the GRID foam roll.

Device: The GRID foam roll
