Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Delay time change
Time between an electric impulse and 10% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Contraction time change
Time between 10% and 90% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Sustain time change
time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Relaxation time change
time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Maximal displacement change
Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Stiffness change
Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton" (Newtons/metre).
Elasticity change
Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton" (logarithmic decrement of a tissue's natural oscillation).
Relaxation change
Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Gastrocnemious strength change
Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).
