  • (1) Diagnosis of lower limb injury, including any tendinopathy, bursitis, ligamentous involvement or fasciitis ,
  • (2) history of lower limb surgery ,

Treatment and study plan

Calf myofascial technique

Procedure

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pressure pain threshold

    Time frame: Immediately 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

  2. Range of motion with knee extended

    Time frame: Immediately before the 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.

  3. Range of motion with knee flexed

    Time frame: Immediately before the intervention.

    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.

  4. Pressure pain threshold

    Time frame: Immediately after the 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

  5. Range of motion with knee extended

    Time frame: Immediately after the 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.

  6. Range of motion with knee flexed

    Time frame: Immediately after the intervention.

    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.
