Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius

Arm Description

A 3-pass superficial leg glide technique was applied first and then 5 minutes of the deep calf myofascial induction technique as described by Pilat.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

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
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.
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.
