Brief Summary

In this study, it will be assessed if there are changes in ankle dorsiflexion and pressure pain after performing the myofascial induction technique in the calf.

Conditions

Fascia; Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial; Range of Motion; Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Pressure pain threshold

  The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer.It is measured in newtons

  Immediately before intervention.

• Range of motion with knee extended

  The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.

  Immediately before the intervention.

• Range of motion with knee flexed

  The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee flexed under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees. Measured in grades.

  Immediately before the intervention.

• Pressure pain threshold
