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.
Detailed description
In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique on nearby muscles. The calf maneuver proposed by Pilat for myofascial induction will be applied and the effects on the pain pressure threshold of the trigger points of the flexor digitorum brevis biceps femoris extensor digitorum longus muscles will be observed.
Interventions
OTHERMyofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle
A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.

Exclusion criteria
; * Diagnosis of lower limb injury, including any tendinopathy, bursitis, ligamentous involvement and/or fasciitis. * History of lower limb surgery or history of lower limb injury with residual symptoms (pain or sensation of sensation) within the last year. * Participants could not have undergone ankle stretching or any other treatment. * Diabetes due to possible impaired distal arterial circulation. * Foot deformity, cavus and flat feet. * Foot deformities such as hammertoes and hallux valgus, * plantar calluses. * Dysfunction of the lower extremities or chronic injuries.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention | 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.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention | 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. |
