Brief Summary

In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique in the muscles close to the application in the gastrocnemius muscle.

Conditions

Myofascial Trigger Point; Gastrocnemius Muscle; Manual Therapy; Pain Threshold

Keywords

gastrocnemius muscle; range of motion; lower limb; therapeutics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• 1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention

  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.

• 2.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention

  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 after the intervention.

Study Arms (1)

Experimental: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius

EXPERIMENTAL

A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.

Other: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle

Interventions

Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle OTHER

A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.
