Brief Summary

This research aims to contribute valuable insights into the potential benefits of incorporating the portable wedge device into preventive or therapeutic interventions for calf-related musculoskeletal issues. By combining economical, ergonomic principles and user-friendly features, the proposed device offers individuals a convenient and efficient means to enhance their calf flexibility, ultimately mitigating strain and reducing spasms.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

  A pain scale is a method used to quantify the level of discomfort a person is experiencing. It assesses a person's level of pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10. The scale rates a person's level of discomfort at a particular moment and goes from '0', indicating no pain, to '10,' representing the worst pain imaginable. This simple yet efficient method is widely used to help healthcare professionals evaluate and treat pain.

  12 Months

• Neck disability index (NDI)

  To evaluate a patient's functional status, ten questions are asked about their condition, including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, focus, job, driving, sleeping, and recreation. Each category is scored from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates "No pain" and 5 indicates "Worst imaginable pain." The score can be multiplied by two to get a percentage score, with a maximum score of fifty.
