Brief Summary

This project will be Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of percussive massage treatment with theragun on pain and muscle length on post exercise delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) of calf muscles in healthy population so that we can have best treatment option for people with delayed onset muscle soreness, duration will be of 6months,purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from kasrat health and fitness club, will randomly allocated in two groups, baseline assessment will be done, group A will be treated with 5 minutes of percussive massage and 5 minuties of static stretching exercises, while group B will be managed with 5 minutes of static stretching exercises only. Assessment will be done via, Numeric Pain Rating Scale(NPRS), Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and goniometric measurements of passive ankle dorsi flexion for calf muscle length at baseline before intervention and immediately post intervention data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• NPRS

  Changes from base Line Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. Where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.

  3rd day

• SF-MPQ

  The SF-MPQ is a self- reported measure of pain. It assesses both the quality and intensity of subjective pain. The short- form McGill Pain Questionnaire consists of 15 descriptors of pain including 11 from sensory categories and 4 from affective categories.

  3rd day

• Goniometer

  A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. (To measure ankle dorsi flexion for calf muscle length.)

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Percussive massage and static stretching exercises

Other: Percussive massage and static stretching exercises

Group B

OTHER

Static stretching exercises

Other: static stretching exercises

Interventions

Percussive massage and static stretching exercises OTHER

All the study participants will perform 15 minutes treadmill, 15 minutes stationary bicycle at day one. After 24 hours participants with positive DOMS will be treated with 5 minutes of percussive massage and 5 minutes of static stretching exercises. The group will be assessed on Numeric Pain Rating Scale and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain and degree of passive ankle dorsi flexion for calf muscle length at baseline before intervention and immediate 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the completion of treatment session.
